Default Vista - Wins commands for host lookup

I have been using netsh for wins lookups to get host's IP address:

netsh wins server xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx show name Name=hostnetbiosname

This command does not work on Vista ("wins" not supported?). Since the
host's NetBios name many times does not match the dns, one cannot rely on the
nslookup results. The only way to find host's IP number having a NetBios, a
wins lookup has to be performed. Can anybody tell me how to do it on Vista?
