Can I ping hostname of device behind a NAT?

This is an industrial environment, where a Windows XP machine has one sole wired connection to a managed switch, and is given a static 172.x.x.x address. In order to upload data to our network, we use a NAT to translate the 172 address to our standard 120.x.x.x address

I can remote in and ping the 120 address all fine and good, but I would like to be able to ping and connect by hostname because it's easier to remember by our naming convention.

Is this possible?
