Unable to replicate with server - the remote server is not a known tcp/ip host

Hi All

My test setup has progressed somewhat.  Essentials as follows:

dom domain: ketech all on notes/domino 6.5.1
dns domain: mel.ketech.com.au dns running on 2003
main server: citrix1 192.168.1.101 (1st server installed)
2nd server: servaland 192.168.1.8 (installed as additional server)
3rd sever: P-III-450-w2k3 (installed as additional server)

All three servers show up in the directory and I can connect the admin client to any of them.  I keep getting the above console error.  I can ping citrix1 on either server and it resolves so I guess it's not DNS its a domino config thing.

I have created server connection documents in both directions between citrix1 and servaland.

The other interesting thing is when I go into Administration - refresh serverlist - I get:
'Unable to retrieve a list of servers from citrix1/ketech.com in domain ketech'

'Connection denied. The server you connected to has a different name from the one requested.'  I went all through the preferences including the reconfig wizard on the admin client couldn't see anything weird.

The web summary page for citrix1 says its name is citrix1/ketech so I guess it must be getting this citrix1/kectech.com out of old settings.  Where do I go to kill it?  Much TIA I'm itching to play with replication.

Thanks guys - simple in the end - wrong name wasn't in the connection docs it was in the admin preferences - administration server.  As always I garnered much t/shooting wisdom from the discussion in the process.  Replication is up - now onto my other pesky client.
