change ip address and machine name

I need to change the ip address and machine name on a server which I have sql server 7.0 enterprise edition running on. Is there any specifics to be concerned over (sql registration, etc.)
thanksHi,
AFAIK SQL Server Wont bother about the IP Address. Once
you change the machine name of SQL BOx, you have to delete
the previous registration and re-register with the new
server name.
Run SQL Server 7.0 Setup from the Product CD. This will
just update SQL Server Internally to reflect new machine
name. Once you are done with that you need to update the
SQL Server by the below two stored procedures
sp_dropserver <old_name> go
sp_addserver <newname>, local go
Stop and Restart the SQL Service.
