Hi I'm trying to setup a push replication between 2 servers on different
networks. both machines can ping eachother using there machine names. I setup
the publication and the distributor on the push server and generate a
snapshot. I then run the distributor but it fails to connect to the
subscriber.

thanks for the help.

You need to ensure the @@servername of the subscriber is how the
publisher/distributor refer to it and vice versa. If you have to use IP
address, you can setup client side alias on the distributor that maps the IP
address to the @@servername of the subscriber
