This didn't work. winsock appears to still try to get to my DNS even with the hosts file set. Using ping, I can see it do a correct name->ip translation form my NATed IP, which it gets from the hosts file, since there is no place to lookup my artificial domain name, but when ping executes, the gethostname call tries to go access the DNS first for some reason.
