How to restore the entire replication topology in different boxe

We are migrating the entire sqlserver environment from Window2000 to Windows
2003 on different boxes with different NT servernames. I have installed the
sqlserver instances and I have restored the publisher, distribution db on the
primary side and the subscriber db on the replicated side. However, I don't
see any publications under the replication folder. Do I need to go through
the replication configuration first then restore the distribution?
Please advise. Thanks.
Wen,
for migrating to another server which has a different netbios name, the only
realistic solution is to script out the publications on the original setup,
install the new servers and then run the scripts on the new server, changing
the necessary parts eg servername and job owners.
