Thanks for your suggestion. I'm actually running shorewall. As far as I can see, with my settings any communication between hosts on my local WiFi network should be allowed. But in any case I tried "sudo shorewall clear", and this did not help. Incidentally, after saying "kbuildsycoca4 -noincremental" I got the following warnings ------------------------------- [tim@rose Android]$ kbuildsycoca4 -noincremental kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(20981)/kdecore (services) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/LabPlot.desktop" has Type= "Application" but also has a X-KDE-Library key. This works for now, but makes user-preference handling difficult, so support for this might be removed at some point. Consider splitting it into two desktop files. kbuildsycoca4(20981) KConfigGroup::readXdgListEntry: List entry Keywords in "/usr/share/applications/kde/kresources.desktop" is not compliant with XDG standard (missing trailing semicolon). kbuildsycoca4(20981)/kdecore (services) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/applications/kde/kresources.desktop" has Type= "Application" but also has a X-KDE-Library key.
