Ok so I was able to establish the new subscription and set database permissions at the subscriber. However, when I went to view the subscription status I got a message:

I received a similar message before and then I went into the publisher and enabled named pipes which was disabled there and enabled at the subscriber. After restarting the server I started synchronization and it seemed to have worked because a green loading icon was processing and then next time I checked synchronization status it said synchronization complete but however the same error persists. I've verfied the tcp/ip being enabled, both servers are running, browser is running for both, remote connection is verified for both, I can ping one to the other and vice versa. However, I don't understand how to troubleshoot via the powershell or what settings I should be looking for in firewall? I have not done anything in log file viewer it might be a possibility. I've also checked job history in the publlisher but don't know where to look everything just says job succeeded. Any Suggestions?
