Download dig for windows, it includes whois.exe.   Put the dig folder in the 
system path.  Now you have a command line whois for windows.

Furthermore, Windows (at least up through 2003) does not have the whois 
command.  If you have access to a x-nix box...

Othewise, look for a reverse name lookup utility.  There is a web-based 
one:  http://www.arin.net/whois/

Also http://ip-lookup.net

Also some tools such as "iplookup" from http://www.softnik.com

Besides doing the reverse lookup, they should also tell you who "owns" 
that network and to whom you report abuse.
