Publisher, Distribution, Subscriber all on one SQL Server?

sql server replication:

Should this work? In production we have one server acting as the
publisher/distributer, and then another as the subscriber.

In the test environment, I'd like to have all of this on the same
server. Will this work? I've run into what I hope is a minor gotcha
(running the drop replication scripts created by enterprise manager
doesn't work, exec sp_dropsubscription returns "The remote server is
not defined as a subscription server").

thanks for any hints.

Hey. I've the same setup at my company for testing. It works fine. I have 2
instances of SQL, one acting as a subscriber and the other acting as a
publisher/distributor for transactional and merge replication. I've 3
publications so far.

For your structure, how is it defined? On your publication, have you defined
