Win7 connection refused, address is invalid on local machine, -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true does not help

[Manish Sapariya]

Hi All,
I am using source IP address in my HTTP sampler and I get following
exception.
Some of the posts suggest to use -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true, but that
did not help fixing this.

I also disabled the IPv6 Stack (so do I believe), by un-checking the IPv6 in
network connection properties dialog box for all network connections.

Any pointer would be helpful.

Here is the exact trace I get in the response.

The test plan is very simple with one HTTP request and Src Ip address set to
my local IP address.
