I see two options. First, as noted above, you can follow the documentation for changing the hostname. Second, you can have Windows use IP addresses to get to samba shares. I do the latter. The key is to use backslashes. E.g., if your Linux machine running samba is at 192.168.1.99, then the shares are at \\192.168.1.99.
