In addition, the windows machine also manages to publish its name to

Does anyone know what I need to do to get the Linux machine to publish
its name to the windows dns?
    

If it's really just plain old DNS, then you should just need to add a
line like

send host-name "irons";

to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and ifdown/ifup the interface.
