Installation Problems because of the server´s name

[Alex Fuentes]

Hi, I´ve got a Windows 2000 Server with SQL 7 already
installed and working, Unfourtanelly my server´s name has
underscores, so when I try to Install Project Server I´ve
got a message telling me that the server´s name is wrong.

Is any way that I can workaround the problem?, Can I add
another netbios name?, Can I only modified something in
the IIS?.

Thanks

Alex:

You might get away with using only IP addresses throughout your
installation.

You know Gary?, I couldn´t use the IP address because the
installation program didn´t ask me the server´s name, so
what I did was to add into the register a name
(OptionalNames) with regedit and switch the names in
order to be recognized by the two netbios names. I didn´t
test it so deep, but I hope this was the solution.
