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 at 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:
