I have ipv6 enabled, but not configured. Any of my java programs that uses
network will fail unless i force it to use IPV4 with -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
( I actually have that in my default shell : 
JAVAVM_OPTS_javaws=-J-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
JAVAVM_OPTS_java=-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

I am using STABLE + java 1.6
