    I know that there are some host based firewalls that give this
    functionality.

    Take a look at Sygate Personal Firewall Pro it has a check box for
    enabling OS fingerprint masquerading. Tiny Personal Firewall may also
    have this feature (I can't remember).

    Hope that helps,

    may be some software firewall is running on the system which is showing
    these results. I don't exactly remember the name of the software
    firewall which provided some measures to prevent os detection remotely.

    Thanks
