Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and I have installed dnsmasq to resolve local domain say www.example.com. In dnsmasq I have configured these settings.
address=/example.com/127.0.0.1 listen-address=192.168.0.3
The dnsserver is my laptop on which I have my xampp too. On my laptop I have given 192.168.0.3 as default DNS and it works fine. when I type www.example.com on Browser.
On my desktop I'm running Windows which is having 192.168.0.2 IP. But the desktop is not resolving www.example.com I have changed default DNS to 192.168.0.3 and these two machine are connected via mtnl router and also I'm able to ping vise versa.

The swiss army knife for troubleshooting DNS problems is dig(1), which is not available on Windows. Few things you can try (assuming you have ruled out all lower layer problems):
1. See if you can resolve DNS from a Linux live CD.
2. See if you can run nslookup successfully on Windows; pastebin its output. Start with:
nslookup -q=soa .
(Don't miss the period at the end of the above command)

Have you modified the LAN IPs of your PCs and MTNL router to be on the 192.168.0.0 network? If your LAN and dns machine is on 192.168.1.0 LAN then 192.168.1.3 should be your listening address.
