SQL error 1418 while trying to mirror with 2 vms

No matter what I try, I constantly run into a 1418 error, I've check all my tcp/ip configs both in sql, and the server 2003 os, on both vms. I’ve enabled tcp/ip filtering and allowed all connections, I’ve used telnet to connect up. Nothing seems to work. Each server can ping the other, they can telnet into 5022, I don’t know where to proceed from here. Is there some config somewhere or issues with vms that I am not seeing? All the machines in the mirroring array are server 2003, I have the physical machine as the witness, vm1 as the Principal, and vm2 as the Mirror.

Hello,
Based on some research, I found that this error message 1418 might not be useful and might even lead the wrong way. Would you please take a look at the following articles to see if they can help?

Additionally, as this issue mainly relates to SQL Server, I would like to suggest that you post this issue in our SQL Server forum if the problem remains. People there have better knowledge on this.
