OK - who manages this server for you, then?

We're a small company with only 3 permanent staff - an ex colleague
set the machine up and I now look after it although I don't consider a
title such as sys admin appropriate.

I can do the things you suggest but that doesn't explain why the setup
worked without fail for at least the last 12-18 months and suddenly
went wrong yesterday.

What could have caused SBS to present a list that didn't match the
displayed machine name to the actual machine when the box was powered
down and back up again?

I suspect your client workstations aren't registering properly in DNS, and
the name and IPs don't match as they should. Regardless, fix the underlying
problems and see if this recurs. When you have DHCP running on SBS (handing
out the the proper domain name/DNS suffix and *only* the SBS server's IP
for DNS) do an ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, and ipconfig /registerdns
on each client and see.
