Pull replication

I cannot get a pull merge replication to work.
The distributor is Win2000 running SQL 2000.
Subscribers are XP Pro running MSDE.
Agent command:
-Publisher [DistSVR] -PublisherDB [MyDB] -Publication [MyDB] -Subscriber
[SubSVR] -SubscriberDB [MyDB] -SubscriptionType 1 -SubscriberSecurityMode 0
-SubscriberLogin [sa] -SubscriberEncryptedPassword
[??????] -Distributor [DistSVR]
The errors:
Category:AGENT
Source: SubSVR
Number: 20084
Message: The process could not connect to Subscriber 'SubSVR'.
Category:SQLSERVER
Source: SubSVR
Number: 17
Message: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Thank you ver much.
This means your subscriber can't connect.
Log on to your subscriber machine and try to ping your publisher.
Also verify you can ping your subscriber using the host name SubSVR from
your subscriber. Also verify that your subscriber password is correct.

Subscriber PC name and SQL server name are different. It's the reason ?
Excuse me for the question: SubscriberLogin is the login to Subscriber or
Distributer ?
Thank you.
