Can't assign requested address mac dubbo

This was caused by an IPv6 address being returned from java.net.NetworkInterface.getDefault(). I'm on a Macbook and was using wireless -- p2p0 (used for AirDrop) was returned as the default network interface but my p2p0 only has an IPv6 ether entry [found by running ipconfig]. Two solutions, both of which worked for me (I prefer the first because it works whether you are using a wired or wireless connection) Start the JVM with -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true. This caused java.net.NetworkInterface.getDefault() to return my vboxnet0 network interface -- not sure what you'll get if you're not running a host-only VM. Turn off wireless and use a wired connection
