 Are you absolutely positive that windows hasn't set the equivalent of
 /etc/resolv.conf + /etc/hosts to give the machine name, even though
 it's not manually added to any DNS server anywhere?  ie, what does
 "ping machinename" do from a command prompt?

+When you install Windows, you give the machine a name. It will use 
+that assigned name and automatically associate it with the local IP 
+addresses. Resolv.conf doesn't exist, it's 
+handled as properties on the IP driver. Here the content of my hosts 
+file and the results of pinging my machine name, which does also not 
+exist in any DNS server.
