I suspect that the server only listens on the IPv4 address while, due to 
its undeterministic nature (it returns the first address no matter how 
many are there, and the order of the addresses is not defined), 
#addressForName: gives you the IPv6 address, so the client can't 
connect to the server.

Another issue is that listening on IPv6 addresses is not possible (at 
least on my machine):

IPv4 works:

s := Socket newTCP.
s listenOn: 60000 backlogSize: 8 interface: (NetNameResolver 
addressForName: '127.0.0.1').
s "==> a Socket[waitingForConnection]"

IPv6 does not work. It just fails silently:

s := Socket newTCP.
s listenOn: 60000 backlogSize: 8 interface: (NetNameResolver 
addressForName: '::1').
s "==> a Socket[destroyed]"
