Maybe your Sql Server Browser service stopped.

Here is the solution.

  1. Open the Run dialog (WinKey + R)
  2. Type: "services.msc"
  3. Select SQL Server Browser
  4. Click Properties
  5. Change "disabled" to either "Manual" or "Automatic"
  6. When the "Start" service button gets enable, click on it.

Done. Now you can select server name from server name drop down list.
