error message -
@@servername for your export server is invalid. Please use sp_addserver (and sp_setnetname) if your NT machine name uses dashes).


How can I rectify this problem. I tried to add server name in SQL 7.0 but even then this is repeating.

Check the Client Network Configuration of both the 6.5 and 7.0 sql installations. Make sure the default network is set to Named Pipes. This should fix it.
