Anonymous Subscription not showing as an option

I am attempting to create an anonymous subscription on a new install of SQL
Server 2000 (new server). I have successfully done this other
instances/servers. Why does the publication, which allows anonymous
subscritions, not show in my options?
I can ping the server just fine. I am sure I am just overlooking something.
Thanks-Deb
Is the account your SQL Server agent is running under on the subscriber in
the PAL on the Publisher?

|||Yes... it is. I also listed this new server as a subscriber under Publisher
and Distributor properties.

go.
What I find interesting is I can see other Anonymous Snapshots available on
other servers and this user is not a part PAL or Sys Amin role on these
servers whatsoever.
