Instance Name Not Visible.

I have laptops that require the loopback adapter when they are not
connected. However when they connect back to the network the networked
servers display just the computer name not the / instancename. Any
ideas? It only happens on network instances. The local instances are
correct. This happens in Enterprise Manager, Access connection tool
and using SQL-DMO.

are the laptops instances "named instances" or "default instances"?
