What does one of my machine have an Icon under it?

All my machines in the various drop-down etc Are all

machine name 
OS

However one of my machines has an icon looking like a lan and it's IP address.
 

 Why is that? and what does it show?

    It's just to show it's local IP address, useful to distinguish different devices.

       Thanks but why is that one the only one with that symbol?

      It's not the machine I'm currently on/using.

      Are they not all "local" on my LAN?

      Just don't understand why just 1 of my machines on my LAN is showing that Icon and IP address.

      Why don't the other computers have that symbol and an IP address

      Is that computer connecting via the NextDNS CLI?

       No, all of them are connecting the same way AFAIK. 

      All the machines have tailscale installed, and tailscale is setup to use NextDNS as the DNS provider. They are all Windows 11 24H2 Computers connected via Ethernet, and all are set to Automatic DNS

      It's not causing any issues, it just seems odd that one machine is displayed differently, and I'm one of those people that needs to know why 😄

      Hmm... Maybe it has something to do with the plex server advertising it's IP address? I'm not familiar with that kind of setup, so it's just a guess.
