Hello, I am having some problem with this, I'll admit.
To simplify. this is the scenario: gentoo box (distro shouldn't be relevant here) and win7 box. Gentoo box is dhcp and dns server, via dnsmasq.
From win7, I can ping gentoo by both ip and name. No problem there.
From Gentoo, I can ping win7 by ip, but not by name. The dnsmasq log seems to receive the name ok, it's "Tere-PC". I have been looking around for many hours now and I know there must be something simple I am not taking into account.
Code:

Code:
# ping Tere-PC
ping: unknown host Tere-PC
Is there any way that dnsmasq, which is supposedly a dns server, will link this name to the given ip?
Thanks for reading and for any idea
