how domain name reg works

I am trying to run a solaris 10 webserver(apache). I want my website to be "http://www.whatever.com" during my installation process of solaris i named my host for my server "whatever" and named my domain name "whatever.com"

is this right or do i need to make my host name "www" and dmain name "whatever.com"

my setup is my ISP---> cable modem---> router ---> my server(my router and cable modem are different pieces of hardware so i believe they both have their own ips. i have port forwarding setup through a static ip.

if my modem, router, and computer each have their own ip addresses, what information do i need to give when i register my domain name.

im thinking this: "whatever.com" and the ip would be my servers static ip address.
or would it be my gateway's ip address or my modems ip address.

so basically...how does the internet (a dns server) know where to find my server if my router is the one that resolvs my static ip address?

p.s. - i'm using www.no-ip.com as my domain registrar.

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.
