Accessing Windows from Linux/Mac by name using TCP/IP

What are some solutions to access Windows by its computer name from Linux and Mac using TCP/IP. That is, from terminal I want to be able to ping my Windows PCs using its host name.

My setup is:

  • Various machines running Ubuntu, Windows XP and OS X.
  • Networked using a consumer grade wireless router which provides DHCP.
  • The only DNS is the ISP's, which resolves Internet names and not local host names.

The Windows machines can ping each other by name. The Ubuntu and OS X machines can only ping Windows by IP address (name doesn't work).

I ended up going with multicast DNS by installing Apple's Bonjour. Now I can address the Windows PCs by using the address hostname.local from the OS X and Linux machines.
