Samba servers all appear twice, one from DNS, second from NETBIOS (?)

Each of my servers appears twice in Dolphin (only once in Android or Windows). See Screenshot:

It’s not in this picture, but a Windows Server appears only once. It’s reasonable to assume that it is a server thing, or server + client thing. Android and Windows clients also see only one server.

One entry is like the NETBIOS name (all caps) and the other like a DNS entry, mixed caps and my internal domain (.lan) at the end. It’s a bit annoying. This happens on every Linux/KDE system, EOS, Arch, Ubuntu. Is there a way to show only one entry, like in Android and Windows? The servers are all samba servers, on EOS, Arch, Ubuntu.
