IRefer to Microsoft documents:-
Q139270 How to change name resolution
order on Windows 95 and WIndows NT
Q172218 Microsoft TCP/IP Host name
resolution order.
These may help you
I have a similar problem in that when I try
to connect to an IP on my local network (which is specified in my hosts
file) the damn thing tries to dial out first - I have tried all the
things that I can think of but cannot stop this behaviour - maybe you'll be
luckier !!!
