Bug Description

If a local server can be accessed with different protocols, such as "afp", "sftp" and "smb" it is being shown at "Entire Network" three times with the same name:

Backups-Server
Backups-Server
Backups-Server

It would help if near the name of the server, the related protocol is shown:

Backups-Server (ftp)
Backups-Server (smb)
Backups-Server (afp)

I think you can configure the name of the server when setting up the protocol i.e. the ftp-server, smb-server, afp-server etc. This need not be the same as the machine name. I have the same machine running both a smb server and an afp server and they appear with different names in Network because I configured them that way.

However, it may be a good idea to show the protocol in brackets after the server name in any case
