Saeed, Having no idea what your exact procedure was for backing up and restoring this system (I make the rash assumption that it's a DC based on your statements in this e-mail), I really can't diagnose the problem fully. It's possible that one of two things are going on:
1. The SystemState Restore failed - Not unbelievable as a specific procedure must be follwed to back AND restore. 2. Name resolution is not functioning - facilities on the same system may fail when trying to resolve its own name. For #1, review this - http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q240363 For #2, please check and make sure that DNS is runnig, the proper records are registered. Also, run a netdiag and a dcdiag in the verbose mode. Resolve in issues indicated. Good luck!
