sql server replication: I'm trying to setup transaction replication between 2 servers. This is a
one-way replication: Server A to Server B, not Server B to Server A.
My snapshot publication keeps failing & I cannot determine why. I added
commands to the agent so that it would create an output file, possibly with
more or better information, but now I'm lost even more. Below is a portion of
the output file that should explain the trouble I'm having:

SourceTypeId = 5
SourceName = Publication
ErrorCode = 11
ErrorText = General network error. Check your network documentation.
The process could not bulk copy out of table
'[dbo].[syncobj_0x3531313845304531]'.
Repl Agent Status: 5
Disconnecting from Publisher 'Publication'
The agent failed with a 'Retry' status. Try to run the agent at a later time.

I've tried running the snapshot numerous times with the same results.
It appears that tables with 0 records complete successfully, but if any
table has more than 0 entries, this error is generated.
The Event Log (Application) reports instances of 'The process could not bulk
copy out of table', but nothing else.
I have setup a publication for the same database at another server, which
works, so I know it can be done.
All of the servers are running SQL 2k + SP4. Servers are running W2k, W2k
SBS, & W2k3.

Thanks,

Please can you check if there is a disk problem - eg is the disk full?
