I'm trying to setup replication and have not been too successful. During the test (within the replication settings panel) the connection test fails with error 0x800404C9 "Target Server cannot download from the source"

Here is the test scenario:

Server A (Primary) to Server B (Replication) Test Successful

Server B (Replication) to Server A (Primary) Test Fails - 0x800404C9

Any idea what the error is - I ran through the trouble shooting and have not come with anything

Correct Answer

Apparently the archive servers (replicated) do not like the sql (sa) password manually set - even though I double and triple checked the password - the only way it worked is when set to "use default login"

Many things can cause this, I'm sure your VAR would be able to find the problem.

I would make sure Server B hosts file has Server A as an entry.
Server A 192.168.xx.xx

Test connection by telneting from Server B to Server A using port 3030
At DOS command line - telnet server b 3030
A blinking cursor on a blank screen is a good test result.

Firewall settings are also known to cause problems.
