A server with this name already exists - sql server 2000 problem

In the enterprise manager for ms sql server 2000 I'm trying to configure access with two different users on the same server. Each user has access to a different database.
The first was no problem, but when I try to add a new server (which is the same as an existing one) with the other user login, I get the error message "A server with this name already exists".
How do I get around this problem?

Ok, I found out how to do it myself.
I had to use the "Client Network Utility" application coming with the sql server installation. (Look in START/All Programs/MS SQL Server/)
There I clicked on the Alias tab then the Add-button and wrote the alias i wanted to appear in my server list in the enterprise manager. I chose TPC/IP as network library and gave the correct server name (plus the specific port, since it wasn't the default one).
Then I closed Client Network Utility and went back to the enterprise manager and when registering a new server i used the alias instead of the real server name.
Now it's working perfectly.

Too bad you can't award yourself the points! :)

This is a great way to restrict access to the server. I'm glad you found the answer.

Well, I can actually give myself the points back. But they don't help in my ranking... :)
