I presume you mean DNS hostname, rather than NetBIOS, in which case /etc/hosts or a content DNS server are the options that come to mind ... absent a way to make nsswitch.conf aware of WINS, which would be ideal for you, but I don't know any way to do that. On the other hand, it wouldn't be too much trouble to write a script that uses WINS queries (man nmblookup) to populate /etc/hosts for you.
