That's not a problem at all. It's just for information. That's why the
line is prefixed "Information:".

The actual problem is that your machine is confused about its IPv6
addresses. I've seen it once before on MacOS X 10.5. The problem went
away by upgrading to the latest update of the OS.

The problem is this address:

If you run ifconfig, you'll see that it's an address belonging to your
loopback adapter. Later on, the client attempts to connect to it...

But the connection never succeeds. I don't know what that IPv6 address
is meant to be for, but it's clearly not working.

A quick work-around is to set the endPointPublish parameter to "ipv4",
which will prevent publishing of IPv6 addresses, and will thus ignore
the invalid IPv6 one.

Cheers,

Duncan.
