Rejoining replicating servers

We had a two-site system go badly wrong as a result of something. The net
result of this was that the publisher had to be completely reformatted and
reinstalled. The server has, as a result of this, been given a different
name (went from being a named instance to not being one).

Currently the publisher doesn't know it's a replicating system.

Is there any way to join these two together so that they just start
from where they left off, or will I have to re-do all the replication
from scratch by various SELECT INTOs to get the data across, then
pushing out fresh subscriptions?

Thanks,

Jim
