Can not connect to distributor because distributor_admin is not defined as remote login

Hello everyone,
We set up replication yesterday and it runs beautifully ... once. After
the first replication, we get the following error whenever we try to
access any of the replication admin screens, with the exception of the
"disable replication" screen:
Error 18483: Could not connect to server XXXX because
'distributor_admin' is not defined as a remote login at the server.
Our setup consists of two SQL Server machines, a primary server which
acts as a publisher and a secondary which acts as both distributor and
subscriber. Replication setup works great, as does the initial snapshot
copy. The transaction agent works perfectly as well.
The error goes away if I disable publishing on both machines and set it
up again, but then it breaks as soon as I complete the initial
replication.
Any help? This has everyone here stumped.
Thanks!!
