$ ping sony06

Pinging sony06 [192.168.2.100] with 32 bytes of data:

  It may be relevant that that is the windows native version of ping rather

'doze and not for cygwin.  Very odd.

Indeed it may be. Doesn't Windows sometimes use WINS to look up hostnames when DNS fails? IIRC you can ping (using Windows 'ping') a computer by WINS name even if it isn't in DNS.
