Problem with Linux PC getting at NT WINS server

Hi, I have a Debian laptop (2.1r2 slink, with kernel 2.2.14 and the latest DHCPCD, PCMCIA and netbase packages) which I'm connecting to my company network - which is basically NT/Windows based. The basic connection is fine, I get an IP address and access to the DNS nameservers and network via DHCP
