Description Li Zhikai 2023-12-17 10:05:39 UTC 
If I use the android phone as a hotspot and connect PC into that Wi-Fi hotspot, I cannot find my phone in KDE Connect. But I can find the phone and pair it with the PC if I use KDE Connect 23.08.4 on Windows.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Turn on the network share on the phone.
2. Connect the PC into that Wi-Fi network. 
3. Use terminal simulator on the phone to confirm that the PC and the phone are in the same LAN.
4. Open KDE Connect and check devices list. The phone and the PC couldn't find each other. 

OBSERVED RESULT
The phone and the PC couldn't find each other though they're in the same LAN. 

EXPECTED RESULT
They can find each other and pair just like that in Windows.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: Windows 10 22H2, KDE Connect v23.08.4
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian 12, KDE Connect v22.12.3-1
Phone: Android 10, KDE Connect v1.29.0
