Can anyone tell me how i can take my server's IP address (say it is 192.168.1.2) and map it to an ip-name, say amt.amtlan.net?

You'd need some kind of DNS server....
If you have a DNS server and can access it ... you'd be able to create that host.

the domain amtlan.net must be using that DNS as one of its DNS pointers in order for amt.amtlan.net to point to the right IP.

Of course... 192.168.x.x is a private class IP... when you config the DNS server... you need to point it to a public IP. Most likely you are behind a firewall or DSL router.... in that case... just do a port map from that public IP to the private IP you got.
