Remarks
This is a required property only when DistributorNetwork Property (Replication ActiveX) is set to a value other than DEFAULT_NETWORK.
This property is useful when configuring the control to connect to the Distributor without having to use SQL Server Client Network Utility.
For example, if the Distributor is accessed over the Internet, DistributorNetwork Property (Replication ActiveX) can be set to TCPIP_SOCKETS and DistributorAddress can be set to a specific IP address.
If the DistributorNetwork Property (Replication ActiveX) is TCP/IP_SOCKETS or MULTI_PROTOCOL using TCP/IP, the value is in the form of 'IP address,socket' (i.e. '111.11.11.11,1433')
If the Distributor connection properties are not specified, it is assumed that the Publisher and Distributor are the same instance of Microsoft SQL Server and the Publisher connection properties will be used when connecting to the Distributor.
