I tried using the netbios again or fqdn name and got the following error: Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Server Native Client 10.0 : Unable to complete login process due to delay in opening server connection.

What is the error that is reported back? Is this same result experienced on other computers as well, or just yours? There is not a SQL alias setup on your system, is there? I have never experienced anything like this.

(as it does on all our other servers) This issue occurs to all other admins, not just me. It's the default instance (mssqlserver), so connecting via server name should work. I can connect to my SQl server using SSMS by IP and not by server name. Ok, here is the issue and my steps to troubleshoot:
