Replication to SQL Server 2005 Express

Hello.
I have a SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition with a database. I want to make
a merge replication of that database to some machines with SQL Server 2005
Express Edition's installed. I have created a merge replication publishment
and if I make a local subscription on the SQL Server 2005 Enterprise Edition
everything works great. But if I make a subscription on a SQL Server 2005
Express Edition which is in the same network with the publisher, the
databases do not synchronize (if I make a pull subscription I have an
'Uninitialized subscripition' warning in the Replication Monitor and if I
make a push subscription the status is 'Synchronizing' but my data is not
replicated).
I tried to do things like enabling remote access to the SQL Express server
and disabling the firewall on that machine, but it still doesn't work. What
should I do?
Thank you in advance,
Stefan Filip
Run profiler on the subscriber/express machine to find out where it is
getting stuck.
