Author  Topic  stev1ef Starting Member 3 Posts Posted - 2010-03-15 : 07:25:07 Hi Guys, I need to set up networking between two servers that i will be using with replication. It will be snapshot replication with the distributer db sitting on the same server as the publication db. To put networking in I need to know who initiates connection. Does the publisher do this, as this is where the snapshot replication jobs sit and are scheduled - or does the subscriber initiate connection? Thanks Steve
