  • What is the status of the publisher? If you have SSMS on the local machine can you verify that you can connect to the subscriber and the publisher from it?

  • Yes from each of the DB server i can connect to DB server

  • Have you seen this TN forum post:

    the merge process could not connect to the publisher

    Looks similar to your situation.
