[windows2000] Will renaming a server cause problems with SQL Server 2000?

At work we have an old server running Windows 2000 Server. It has SQL
Server 2000 installed on it. It is our production db server. We recently
bought a new server, a Windows 2003 Server and installed SQL Server 2000
onto it, with the intention of migrating our production db to the ne3w
server. The old server is a member server of a Windows 2000 Active
Directory network; it is not a domain controller.
Well, the old server has begun to cause us a lot of problems. All of the
servers are on what is known as a KVM switch (?keyboard, video and mouse?),
so that all we need are 2 keyboards, 2 monitors and 2 mice in order to
interact with the servers. The old production server has stopped being able
to response to either the mouse or keyboard and it no longer displays
anything on the monitor. Clearly we are going to have to do something, and
soon.
One option we have discussed is copying the production databases from off of
the old server and putting them onto the new server. (We are using Veritas
Backup Exec for our backup system.) Then what we might do is turn the old
server off, take the new server out of the network, rename it to the same
name and IP address of the old server, and then bring it back up again.
What I am wondering is, will SQL Server behave itself it we take the new
server out of the network, rename the server and then try and bring it back
into the network?
