XP Pro - Access Remote Server By Name, Not Public IP

233 100+
We have a workstation at a remote location that accesses one of our local Win2k3 servers by the server name, not by the public IP address, but I cannot figure out how this is being accomplished. I am hoping there is a simple configuration where a computer name can be mapped to a public IP address, and then the computer name can be used when connecting to the server from various applications on the remote system. I thought this is something that would be accomplished via My Network Places, but I can find no entries for the mapping. When I log into the remote system and ping the server with the server name, the public IP address is resolved. Any thoughts on how one would create such a setup?

*edit*
I did not think about there being multiple hosts files on the system. Windows search, and there was a clear entry with the local server's name as well as the public IP address.
