Ric ---- please clarify if I misunderstand you because it looks like the other way around... that ipv6 is turned off on Fedora but your java software wants it on. While I would think that the above is just a 'NOTICE' type error and not at all important, if you want to turn ipv6 on, it's likely that all you need to do is... # cat /etc/sysconfig/network NETWORKING=yes NETWORKING_IPV6=yes HOSTNAME=cube but it's possible to disable ipv6 via older methods - i.e. in /etc/modprobe.conf watch for 'net-pf-10' entries because an 'off' there would also have shut it off. restart network daemon...good to go but if I misunderstood you...
