sql server replication : Set up merge replication in non-domain environment

Hi

I am setting merge replication between 2 PCs in non-domain environment (2
PCs in the same wrokgroup)

I have used SQL Authentication in both publisher and subscriber and even
distributor by clicking Tools>>Replication>> Configuring
Publishing,subscriber and distribution. Given them same SQL Authentication of
sa and password.

I can even register the 2 PCs with each other using the SQL Authentication.

I have set my username and password for windows login account to be the same
in both PCs

However, I have encountered a problem in pull subscription in the subscriber
where it say:
The process could not connect to Distributor"SERVER". Login failed for user
'sa'. Reason: not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.

What could be wrong? Is there other alternatives in setting up replication
in non-domain environment?

Please check that both servers allow mixed authentication.

Pls can you try using FTP for the initialization, and we'll see if this
eliminated the problem.
If it does, we know that it is related to the windows account not having the
correct privileges.

When I register both server, I use SQL Authentication of sa and password. So
am sure that both servers allow mixed authentication.

Hi

I have used same SQL Authentication in both publisher and subscriber so the
sa password of the publisher is used during pull subscription.

As for FTP intialisation, I have tried specifying IP address as FTP address
and use FTP to download snapshots for subscriber but it still encounter the
same problem of unable to connect to distributor.

For the pull subscription make sure you are using the sa password of the
publisher.
