Re: IPv6 Issue with Tomcat
Thanks for all your response guys. Chuck's recommendation did fix my problem. I also liked the loopback recommendation.

From: Martin Dubuc [mailto:martind1...@gmail.com] Subject: IPv6 Issue with Tomcat I am wondering if there is configuration within Tomcat to force the driver not to use IPv6. Not within Tomcat, but possibly for the JVM you're using. Try setting -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true as a JVM system property parameter. Of course, not telling us your actual Tomcat version, the JVM level you're using, and the platform you're on makes providing advice somewhat of a shot in the dark. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

I was burned in a similar fashion.
