Question : SQL Replication - Requires the actual server name error

Im trying to replicate SQL database and have a Local Publications set up. When I try and add a Subscription I get the following error.

"SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported."

Im not using an IP Address and I am typing the server name correctly. I have even tried servername.domain.local and still no luck

I hate SQL

Answer : SQL Replication - Requires the actual server name error

After all that I finally resolved the issue.. I checked the BIS server name within SQL (SELECT @@SERVERNAME) and it came up with NULL.. after restarting the services on BIS server and checking the name again it finally came back with the correct name "company_server-bis"... I am not able to get the subscription to work correctly

Thanks
