Does SQL Server depend on the machine's mac address?

I have a machine that I changed the MAC address on. The machine is running SQL Server 2005. Now I can't connect to "localhost". Does the machine's mac address get embedded somewhere in SQL Server?

Definitively, I don't know.

From what you've seen though, and from having some experience of how Microsoft Server packages tend to tie themselves into things on the server they're on, I would have to say that it's very likely the answer is a Yes.
