Thank you...

I looked in the distribution.dbo.MSrepl_errors table...

The first error is this:

Message: Failed to read column data Stack: at Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.Snapshot.SqlServer.NativeBcpOutProvider.ThrowNativeBcpOutException(CConnection* pNativeConnectionWrapper) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.Snapshot.SqlServer.NativeBcpOutProvider.BcpOut(String strBcpObjectName, String strBcpObjectOwner, String strBaseBcpObjectName, Boolean fUnicodeConversion, String strDataFile, String strLoadOrderingHint, String strWhereClause, Boolean useTableLockHint, Int32 bcpFileFormatVersion) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.Snapshot.SqlServer.BcpOutThreadProvider.DoWork(WorkItem workItem) at Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.WorkerThread.NonExceptionBasedAgentThreadProc() at Microsoft.SqlServer.Replication.AgentCore.BaseAgentThread.AgentThreadProcWrapper()

Then directly after it is this error:

Message: TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Stack:

And then both of these error msgs go on for the next 20 min...And the final errors I get are:

Message: Communication link failure Stack:

Message: TCP Provider: The specified network name is no longer available. Stack:

Message: TCP Provider: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. Stack:

Message: Communication link failure Stack:

Any idea what this means?
