Question : SQL Server 2008 Merge replication setup problem

I am trying to setup merge replication between distribution/publish ServerA and subscriber ServerB.  I have gotten the publisher to successfully (at least it says so) create the initial snapshot.  I go through the steps of setting up the subscription on ServerB, but when I "View Synchronization Status" the status is

"The remote server "ServerA" does not exist, or has not been designated as a valid Publisher, or you may not have permission to see available Publishers."

Both SQL Servers are on the same domain, and I am using a domain account with dbo rights on the database I am trying to replication.  The domain account also is being used as the login for the merge replication.

I have no trouble with ping, and I am able to use the domain account to log into SQL server through Management Studio.

According to the error I see 3 possible errors, the server does not exist (which I know it does), it has not been designated as a valid publisher, or some user account along the way doesn't have permission to see available publishers.

I'm open to direct answers to get this fixed, but I am also interested in checking the pieces since I am going to have 2 subscribers.

1) How do I see the list of valid publishers?
2) Which account would wanting to see the available publishers?  Basically which blanks that I fill in determine that account?

Answer : SQL Server 2008 Merge replication setup problem

Replication apparently has different DNS requirements than Management Studio.  I added remoteserver.na.mycompany.com as a cname to remoteserver.eu.mycompany.com and then everything started working fine.  Before adding the DNS entry I was able to connect just by the first part of the server name, but replication couldn't.
