Replication from 2000 to 2005

HI All, I am trying to set replication of a SQL Server 2000 DB to SQL Server 2005. The source DB located on SQL Server 2000. I have set all the distribution and publication on SQL Server 2000. The SQL Server 2000 instance not using the default port to connect, it is using the port 1193 and when I am trying to connect to this server in SQL 2005 it is asking for port number as well like ServerName, 1193. Then only I am able to connect to this server from 2005. But when I am trying to create the subscription from 2005 server and passing the name as ServerName, 1193 it is saying that it should be only ServerName and when I am giving only ServerName it is showing that no server exist. Can anyone help me on this urgent. Thanks, Shekhar "No passion in the world is equal to the passion to alter someone else’s draft."
It is showing me the below error message.
