I finally found an error but I have no idea what to do with it. In the server application errors I'm seeing:
There was an error on the connection. Reason: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server), connection parameters: Server Name: nottheservername, Database Name: msdb

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Named Pipes is turned enabled on the instance as is TCPIP.
Does anyone know where would it be getting the server name? In this particular case that servername won't work anyway as it is a named instance.
