Hi Paul,
Thanks for writing. I can imagine that it wouldn't help to re-install the software as it's simply getting the SQL Server names from the ODBC interface in the operating system. Sometimes it helps to exit the software and restart it (a few times). Possibly starting Enterprise Manager could jar things loose and get ODBC to cache the SQL Server names.
If worst came to worst, you can simply type the name or IP of the server into the server box.

I skipped the part of the case where I ask you if you can log on to the server using any other tools such as Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer. :-)
