I'm using JBoss 4.0.5 GA on Windows 7 with Java version 1.5 (I have to use older java version and a JBoss because I'm working with a legacy system). And when I'm starting the server I get the following error: 

java.net.SocketException: Unrecognized Windows Sockets error: 0: JVM_Bind

And I believe this causes many other exceptions:

I greatly appreciate if anyone could help. At least to figure out where I should look for the solution (e.g. Is this an error related to windows 7 and JBoss clustering incompatability? Is this because of a wrong port configuration? etc.)

Thanks.

This problem occurs on some Windows systems that have the IPv6 TCP Stack installed. If both IPv4 and IPv6 are installed on the computer, the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) may have problems closing or opening sockets at the operating system level.

Add the following JVM option: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

I've seen this happen on Windows 7 and Windows 2008 systems which have both IPv4 and IPv6 stacks installed by default.
