SUMMARY
KDE Connect fails to detect my PC. PC may initiate pairing, but then is permanently disconnected. I've been using an android phone and an android tablet with my KDE Neon PC for years. KDE Connect on the Pinephone can see and pair with the android devices and vice versa, but not with my PC. I can initiate a pairing once from the PC, accept on the pinephone and it works - briefly. Once kdeconnect is relaunched the PC shows as disconnected and can never be brought up again. Only unpair/repair works and then only until relaunch as above.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use an existing working install of kdeconnect on pc
2. Install kdeconnect on any of several pinephone distros
3. Attempt to pair with PC

OBSERVED RESULT
The pinephone will never see the PC and send a pairing request. The pinephone can always see and pair with my android devices. I have tried this with several pinephone distros and 3 different PCs (all running the latest kde neon) on two different networks. Filing a bug is my last resort. This bug is similar, but different from bug #357051 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=357051 


EXPECTED RESULT


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.20
(available in About System) (WHY was this info taken Out of About KDE??)
KDE Plasma Version: Latest and nightlies
KDE Frameworks Version: ""
Qt Version: ""

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
PC may initiate pairing, but then is permanently disconnected after KDE Connect is relaunched on the pinephone.
