I'm trying transactional replication from a server that I'm plugged into to a server that exists in my vm. However, when I try to create the subscriber from the server i'm remoted into(publisher) I get and error saying it can't connect to the server on my vm. I've already checked the login info to be correct and that both the publisher and subscriber allow remote connections.
Here is the error:
TITLE: Connect to Server------------------------------
Cannot connect to WIN-T6S43L3VKK9.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Failed to connect to server WIN-T6S43L3VKK9. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
