My Java browser plug-in is no longer working. When I open a page that has a Java element, Java cannot connect to the server.
After investigation, I found that Java was trying to use IPv6, while my network does not support IPv6, so Java always fails to connect.
I tried looking on Google and found that I should run Java with -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
, but how can I pass this to the browser?
I use Google Chrome and Java 7 update 5.

@javadba: Links are never dead : see the Wayback Machine, but it's outdated. Better google "Disable IPv6 On Windows" for half a million results.
– harrymc – 2017-01-16T07:31:53.880Why don't you disable the IPv6 protocol so Java won't have this option. – harrymc – 2013-08-30T18:55:04.073
it is a old story, I do not know if I've disable IPv6 protocol, seems to have, I've forgotten, what I remember is I remove Java 7 and replace it with Java 6 – nyongrand – 2013-08-31T09:21:07.907
