Vista - Wins commands for host lookup

On Windows XP, netsh command can be used for wins lookups (get host's IP
address given its NetBIOs name):

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

This command does not work on Vista ("wins" not supported?). Can anybody
tell me how to perform wins host lookup on Vista?
