kdeconnect does not find devices

I have recently installed kdeconnect on my laptop and my smartphone.

The kdeconnect icon shows up in the system settings but when i click it i just get an empty screen with "connect and sync your devices with kde" at the top. No options or buttons at all.
If i open the android app on my smartphone, my laptop is not listed.

If i look at "System settings > Startup and shutdown > service manager" I can see that the "KDE connect" service is running.
My laptop and pc are both connected to the same WiFi network.

I tried searching the internet but I couldn't find any help. Could somebody point to the right direction?

(My laptop is a Dell Inspiron 15R, kernel is 3.16.1-1, DE is kde4. Smartphone is HTC one)

Re: kdeconnect does not find devices

really same network-address-range ?

for me it worked out of the box; I found this rc .kde4/share/config/kdeconnectrc; where my connections are stored

Re: kdeconnect does not find devices

Thx for the quick reply, what do you mean by "same network address range"? How do I check that?

the contents of the rc are:

[myself]
id=c843a546_3b36_4b7f_9f29_202cd34601a3
privateKeyPath=/home/sam/.kde4/share/apps/kdeconnect/key.pem
