SQL Server and Network IP

Can anybody enlighten me how SQL Server (7.0 or 2000)to bound itself to Network name and IP in DNS? (My question is about server level Name/IP matching rather than Client Network Utility setting).

Is there any registry in Window level to manage it? Is there any published article about this topic?

Thank you very much

Not quite sure you do you mean. Don't think sql server looks for its name and ip address through DNS since they are local properties on the server.
