Synch hangs -- sql server replication

SQL2K Merge replication. When starting the synchronization it displays
"Retreiving subscription information" in the sync dialog and hangs there
forever. If I look on the server at Merge Agents, it reads "Last
Action:Connecting to Publisher <Publisher name>". Network connection to
the SQL server is good, but for some reason it can never begin the
subscription sync.

I've seen hangs like this which have only being solved by rebooting the
publisher. Can you create a local subscription and try to pull it from
there. If you get the same error you need to reboot.
