If all you want to do is lookup a machine name or IP address, I have some
alpha code that will do that from a unix box (I use HP).  You are welcome
to it.  It works in our environment, we are running DHCP and WINS but not
DNS on the PC side. It should work even better if you are running DNS on
the PC side.
