Peer-to-peer Replication Agent Error

Does anyone know why if I setup a p2p replication I get:
"Could not find a valid Agent Id for the subscription to Publisher
XXXServer, ...
Source: MSSQLServer, Error number: 21758"
This message only happens on the replication between SeverA to ServerB...
ServerB replicates to ServerA just fine...
Any help would be appreciated since the link to Microsoft help says the
error is not documented.
Thanks!
Can you post the exact steps you took to configure this? What you are
describing is not peer-to-peer replication, but seems to be bi-directional
transactional instead.

|||I actually got it working. The problem was when I was in the peer-to-peer
topology and Adding the SQL Server, I was trying to use Windows
Authentication to connect to the peer, but since I was in a WORKGROUP that
wasn't working. As soon as I made it connect with SQL Authentication it
worked...
I'm wondering if you have any ideas, though, on a new problem...
I have a table in the p2p replication that has an IDENTITY column as the key
and an on INSERT trigger to add a second record. When I replicate, it fails
telling me to turn NOT FOR REPLICATION to NO. I found the MS article
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=908711 on this. However, I can't set NOT
FOR REPLICATION to NO in a p2p situation as far as I can tell. It's easily
reproduced. Just create a simple table with primary key as an IDENTITY
column and then an ON INSERT trigger to add a second row. When you create
the publication and try to run the P2P Topology stuff it blows off telling
you that you can't do p2p when set to manual.
Any ideas?
