The Server Network utility is used to manage the server Net-Libraries. It is used to specify the network protocol stacks on which the server will listen for client requests, and it can be used to specify that Microsoft® SQL Server™ will listen on a nondefault network address.
Most administrators will never need to use the Server Network utility. During setup, they will specify the server Net-Libraries on which SQL Server will listen. If they take the default network addresses, clients can connect to SQL Server by just specifying the network name of the server on which SQL Server is running.
