Hi ,

I have a very urgent to solve issue with my SQL Server.
I have SQL Server 2000 installed on my server and a lot of application
working with the existing databases. These application stop recognazing the
name of the SQL Server yesterday (the name is CentralServer) so no one works
any more.
What is strange is that if I use (local) instead of database server
("CentralServer") the applications are working (but this is not a solution
because I have a lot of config files where I use the name of the server and
not :local").. If I call from other machine on the nework I can see and work
with the name "CentralServer" so any application installed outside this
machine is working fine and can find the Sql database.
It seems that some settings on the server are corrupted like the serverName
in registry somewhere but I don;t have any ideea where to search.

Does anybody had this problem?

I really don't know what to do so any help will be appreciate.

Thanks.
John.
