[QUOTE="Tex-Twil, post: 909551, member: 52788"] I think it is because you have both "AFP" and "Samba" protocols enabled in the sharing preferences hence the mac is shown twice. Note the icon of the mac shared via "Samba" is a PC with a blue screen of death :) It's because samba is used mostly on windows. If you want to share with only macs, you can use just AFP otherwise you also need "Samba" since windows doesn't know the AFP protocol. Or .. you can use just samba.
