Renaming a SQL server

I am installing the database component to MOM. I do not
believe my question will require any MOM knowledge, but
just pointing this out up front.
The MOM install dies with a message which says
(paraphrase) "this machine has had it's name changed.
please fix and rerun setup".
The machine has never had it's name changed. It *WAS*
upgraded from sql7, though, if thats important. This box
is sql2k and hums along every day without incident.
Still, I followed all the renaming documents I could get
my hands on. Everything appears AOK, and is still
working fine, however I get that message from MOM install
nonetheless.
Any tips and/or advice? I crossposted in the MOM
newsgroups, but I'm hoping this is something which is
just SQL specific..
Thanks in advance :)I suggest you ask this in a MOM group. (I assume you have fixed master..sysservers in SQL Server.)
Only the MOM people can answer to why MOM things that there was a rename and when you found out
where MOM get this info from, you can probably fix it.
