Publisher configuration problem

sql server replication:

I am trying to configure a MS SQL Server 2000 named \\MSSQL_NEW as a
publisher but I keep getting this
error:
SQL Server Enterprise Manager can not configure 'MSSQL_NEW' as the
distributor for 'MSSQL_NEW'
Error 18483:
Could not connect to server 'MSSQL_NEW' because 'distributor_admin' is not
defined as a remote login at
the server.

I've verified that 'distributor_admin' exists and has sysadmin rights on the
server (MSSQL_NEW).

I noticed that when I execute, 'select @@servername', in QA, I get,
'MSSQL_OLD'. But my machine name is, 'MSSQL_NEW'
and name registered in EM is 'MSSQL_NEW'. Tried replacing the registration
'MSSQL_NEW' to 'MSSQL_OLD' but I get a
server does not exist or access denied error.

Will updating @@servername to 'MSSQL_NEW' solve my problem? How?

Any comments or suggestions will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

This is a tricky problem to solve.

I normally solve it by issuing a

sp_adddistributor and an sp_adddistributiondb procs.

These should work. Then when you go to replicate it will bomb. So disable
replication, and then re-enable it. It should work this time.
