error message when using SQL Server 7 Enterprise Manager

I have a question, that I could not find a solution for by searching the web
and this news group. Hopefully someone can make sense of this error I have
been receiving for the last few months.
Anyways, when I startup the enteprise manager on a SQL server 7 database
that is running on a Windows 2000 advanced server, I get the following error
message when I click on the database icon and begin the connect process to
the databases that reside on this server:
SQL server \\srv2000 is not known to be running. Are you sure you wish to
connect?
The icon that represents the databases has a red lightening bolt through it.
When I do say yes to this question, the icon still has the lightening bolt,
but I can see the databases. I can connect and see the data. The clients
that access these databases can connect with no problems. I only see the
above error message when I connect through enterprise manager. The other
tools (DTS services and Query Analyser) has not problems connecting to the
same databases either locally or over the network.
What is causing this error message to pop up and what can I do about this
problem?
Edward Letenrdre.make sure your connecting to srv2000 and not \\srv2000 , also re-register a
sql server maybe even trying the ip address in stead.
