SUMMARY
I was never able to get to work kdeconnect when my PC is connected by cable to my network, when using Wi-Fi it is working perfectly. Wifi network and LAN are the same networks (192.168.1.0/24) provided by the same router. Ports are not blocked, it shows even connected when i check following this guide: https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Troubleshooting

netcat -z -v 192.168.1.168 1714-1764
netcat: connect to 192.168.1.168 port 1714 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
netcat: connect to 192.168.1.168 port 1715 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
Connection to 192.168.1.168 1716 port [tcp/xmsg] succeeded!
netcat: connect to 192.168.1.168 port 1717 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
netcat: connect to 192.168.1.168 port 1718 (tcp) failed: Connection refused
netcat: connect to 192.168.1.168 port 1719 (tcp) failed: Connection refused


STEPS TO REPRODUCE

2. Switch network connection to cable on PC.
3. Try connect to phone again
