General NetWork Error Check network configuration

Hi to all
i have two sql servers
the first one is a win 2000 sever serverA
and the second one is a win xp ServerB
..i have created a push subscription at sql server ServerA
..i had many problems finally i installed the sp3 on both machine
..the first time i ran the replication at serverA via a dial up connection
with modem
it took 45 mins for 11135 inserts.
It had also certain conficts.
So i re run the replication but this time i have an error
"General network error. Check your network documentation.
(Source: MAILVXE (Data source); Error number: 11)"
I restarted the mahine but in vain the same error is repeated.
Please help me .
Thanks in advance

General network error means there is a problem with your link. It could be
name resolution (unlikely as it was resolving ok for 45 minutes), bandwidth,
or a problem with the connection.
I am not sure where you are in deploying your snapshot, it sounds like it is
deployed. If so, you should wrap your distribution agent in an infinite
loop, have step 3 on failure, return to step 1.
To check name resolution problems issue a ping -a subscriber ip from the
publisher if you are doing a push, or a ping -a publisher ip from the
subscriber. To check to bandwidth copy a 1 Mg file and see how long it
takes. Copying smaller files will not necessarily give meaningful results.
You can also run keep alive scripts, like ping -t subscriber name to
discover when your connection fails, or to determine how lossy or unstable
your connection is.
There is another possibility where your publisher or subscriber gets so
bogged down that it can't respond in the time window allotted to your
distribution agent. Running perform on the subcriber or publisher and
monitoring cpu usage can help you here.
