distribution database having problems??

Something is wrong with my distribtion database. When the distribution clean
up agent runs (or I run dbo.sp_MSdistribution_cleanup manually)
I get the following error message:
Executed as user: sa. Table error: Database ID 9, object ID 5575058, index
ID 1. Chain linkage mismatch. (1:89299)->next = (1:59339), but
(1:59339)->prev = (0:0). [SQLSTATE HY000] (Error 8908). The step failed.
SO then I run
DBCC CHECKDB
on the distribution database. The MSrepl_commands is the table with the
problem with repeated messages such as:
Table error: Object ID 5575058, index ID 1. B-tree page (1:91019) has two
parent nodes (1:93624), slot 103 and (1:89299), slot 1.
I run this:
dbcc checktable ('MSrepl_commands')
and get the same type of error message.
I have no idea how to fix this. Any advise?? (If I try and use the repair
options of the dbcc commands than it says I have to have the DB in single
user mode. Not sure if you are even suppose to do that with a distribution
db?)
Thanks so much for any and all help,
Kristy
Believe it or not these problems crop up from time to time on replicated
databases. Stop the sql server agent on the publisher, yank the network
cable (if possible), and put this database in single user mode and do the
repair.

|||Thanks Hilary. I will check to see if we can yank the network cable. Not
sure if we can though because it is on a remote server hosted by another
company in another state.
If not, is there something else I can do? (Besides redo replication and drop
the distribution DB.)
As always, thanks!
