Having check this site for any relevant help, i got a suggestion to use -S (local) or -S servername yet it's still not working

Any help?"

Can you connect to the server in the -S switch using Query Analyzer from the same machine where you are running the bcp command? You probably just need to add an alias or start the MSSQLSERVER service.
