[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]The requested instance is either invalid or not

I have this instance running, on a server. I can connect to it using SQL
Query Analyzer as well as SQL Enterprise Manager.
But when I try to connect to it using SQL Server JDBC it gives error,
[Microsoft][SQLServer 2000 Driver for JDBC]The requested instance is either
invalid or not running.
I havent changed anything in Java code it is still the same. It was working
fine earlier. Can any one help?
I had similar problem with SQL Analyzer too but I could fix it using
cliconfg utility provided by MS.

With JDBC SP2, I can only reproduce this behavior if I have incorrectly
specified the instance name in my code. What is the name of your instance,
and can you post the code snippet that reproduces the problem? You
mentioned using cliconfg.exe to fix a similar problem with Query Analyzer.
Please run this tool again and verify that there are no aliases that point
to an invalid instance name as well.
