I might be wrong, but is this what you are looking for?
 From man smb.conf

announce as (G)
    This  specifies what type of server nmbd(8) will announce itself as,
    to a network neighborhood browse list. By default this is set to
    Windows NT. The valid options are : "NT Server" (which can also be
    written as "NT"), "NT  Workstation", "Win95"  or  "WfW"  meaning
    Windows  NT Server, Windows NT Workstation, Windows 95 and Windows
    for Workgroups respectively. Do not change this parameter unless you
    have a specific need to stop Samba appearing as an NT server  as
    this may prevent Samba servers from participating as browser servers
    correctly.

    Default: announce as = NT Server
    Example: announce as = Win95


also, for your shares (e.g. [home]) add

    browseable = yes
