Ok... sorry not Wins. But Windows by default runs the Computer Browser server, perhaps over NetBIOS. Any time a new PC boots it asks if anyone on the network is the master browser and it so resolves names via that. If you try to ping a pc using the computer name on a windows network you will get a response and the IP address.
