Configure Windows 7 to resolve hostnames (source)
- Go into Network Connections (I just typed "Network Connections" om the start icon -> run box)
- Right click on your Network Adapter and go into Properties
- Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"
- Under the General Tab click Advanced
- Under the DNS Tab select the radio button that says "Append these DNS suffixes (in order)"
- Click "Add…"
- Enter a single period in the text box and click "Add."
- Click OK in the "Advanced TCP/IP Settings" Dialog
- Click OK in the "Local Area Connection Properties" Dialog
And there you go.

Useful post - thanks
You're great, it works. I have dnsmasq installed in a Fedora box and from a Windows machine, the resolve IP from any local (/etc/hosts file) host didn't work. It's ok now.
