This is a stab in the dark (I am not a Vuze) user but I have had similar 
problems with other Java apps (e.g., Netbeans, Tomcat).  The VM's TCP stack, 
for some reason, wants to use IPv6.  To force it to use IPv4, invoke Java 
with "-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true".  You can do this either on the 
command line or by setting the JAVA_OPTS environment variable.
