You have to enter the fully qualified host name into the hosts file of
your *Windows* computer in order to use it to reference the SCO
Unix machine that way. It's probably far easier to use Windows
telnet from IE using: telnet:192.168.1.5
and bookmarking the location under Favorites.

Or you can create a shortcut on your desktop that runs the
command: telnet 192.168.1.5
and name it whatever you wish. Again, no need to reference the
SCO machine by its domain name.
