configuring a publishing and distribution wizard

I am having a problem with configuring publiushed and distributor .i am
selecting the option to make the local server its own distibutor.
After competing the task, I am getting an enterprise manager error stating
that
Sql server manager could not configure the "SQLSERVER' as distibutore for
"SQLSERVER'
error 18483 could not connect th the server 'SQLSERVER' becouse
Distibutor_admin' is ot defined as a remote login at the server...
Need help!!
what happens if you do a select @.@.servername on the local server?

|||As Hilary is alluding to, the @.@.servername valiable is probably incorrect.
If this is the case, you will need to run the sp_addserver procedure with
the local parameter to set it correctly. You may also need to run
sp_dropserver as well.
After doing this, you will need to stop and restart SQL Server for the
change to take effect.
