			... it probably means there is no ZeroConf service installed on the client machine, which is required to auto-detect the scope on the network. This is how to solve it:
			* Windows: download and install Apple's Bonjour service from https://support.apple.com/kb/DL999
			* Linux: pre-installed on most distributions, otherwise you need to install the avahi-deamon package
			* MacOS: pre-installed on MacOS
			* Android: pre-installed on Android
			* iOS: pre-installed on iOS
