What article suggests is absolutely unfeasible - I have a dynamic IP address.
Then you may need to write a script to modify /etc/hosts for you.
On the same PC Miranda in a Virtual Machine behind NAT in Windows (NAT address from C level network 192.168.x.x) works just fine.
Yes, Windows behaves differently than Linux. Wine can't change that for you, it depends on your networking being set up correctly.
