Could not find server 'x.x.x.x' in sysservers

I am trying to set up transactional replication between two SQL Server 2000
machines and when the synchronization starts (I'm pushing from the publisher
to the subscriber), I get the following error:
Could not find server 'x.x.x.x' in sysservers. Execute sp_addlinkedserver to
add the server to sysservers.
(Source: OLISSQLSERVER1 (Data source); Error number: 7202)
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
Use client network utility to mask the ip address with a host name.

|||Could you explain to me where and how to do this? I did some looking online
but wasn't sure what to do. Thanks for your help!
