samba - Mar 2004 - Resolving computername from ip

Hi,
Is there, on a intranet, any way to resolve the computername from its ip 
  ?  I have a setup where I know which users are on which ip, and I 
wan't to notify some events to some users with a "smbclient -M".
But
since I don't know the computername, I don't know any way to send the 
popups...

thanks

I normally use  ping -a [IP address] from a Windows DOS session.  Not sure
if the -a option works from a Linux commend prompt though.
