Establishing VPN Connection thru DTS package

Hi,
I have defined a DTS package which establishes VPN connection with my
client's server. When I execute this package thru SQL Enterprise
Manager (SEM) it works fine, but when I schedule it as a job or try to
execute thru SQL Query Analyzer using 'xp_cmdShell' stored proc, it
doesn't establish connection. NE ideas on what am I doing wrong?
Yr prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Um JunkWhen you execute it using xp_cmdshell the package is run under the context
of the SQL Server startup account (if the user connected via Query Analyzer
is a member of the sysadmin role) or the SQL Proxy account (if the user
connected via Query Analyzer is not a member of the sysadmin role).
Login to the machine using these accounts and see if you can run the
package from Enterprise Manager. This could give you some additional
information.

Error-14010-remote server not defined as subscription server

Running SQL Server Personal Ed (Server A) on Tablet PC (publication and distribution setup here) trying to push data to SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Ed. (Server B). When I start sync I get two failures. First is 'remote server not defined as subscription server'. Second, subscription to publication xx not valid (error# -2147201019). The snapshot is succeeding fine. What do I need to setup on Server B? I have the same db on both servers.

Try with running sp_addsubscriber 'Server B' to see if it will be fixed.|||

I did run sp_add subscriber only to verify Server B already exists. A subscription shows up on server B; listed as never started.

I have not been able to succeed this task.

Server A db properties-replication tab-configure-subscribers tab-set agent connection to subscriber to impersonate-rerun PUSH suscription-response-login fail for anonymous logon.

How to setup both servers to accept anonymous logon?

This issue has been resolved.

Security settings was the problem on both servers.

thx..bt
