[Dnsmasq-discuss] Inconsistent name resolution behavior across Windows XP hosts

[László Monda]

Hi List,

I'm running dnsmasq inside an OpenWrt router which acts as the LAN gateway.

On some Windows XP hosts name resolution works when referring to LAN
hosts purely through their name.

On other Windows XP hosts I have to explicitly use the local domain
such as hostname.lan otherwise the resolution fails.

Please shed some light on this issue.  I'd love to understand it.
