By this I mean to not come up as (LINUX-PC) when a windows user opens network neighbourhood. Unplugging is not an option, as I am running a multiplayer server every now and then, which we connect to via IP address. Is there something in samba config etc that I can change to not advertise my linux pc while still having an IP address assigned?

Yes you can disable samba without removing it
First stop samba
sudo service smbd stop
Stop NetBIOS
sudo service nmbd stop
then remove it from startup
sudo update-rc.d -f smbd remove
sudo update-rc.d -f nmbd remove
Service and config not removed from PC and you can start it when you need it with
sudo service smbd start
sudo service nmbd start
