The following sounds like a Domain Suffix Search order problem :) Double
check your /etc/resolv.conf for search entries or your Windows TCP/IP search
orders. Remember that DNS works transparently with IP Masq... In other
words, the domain suffix search setting on the PC you are sitting at will be
used. Not the one on the IP Masq machine.
