Java Version: idk

This is probably the reason. The idk version of java is terribly outdated, so last season, really.

If you don't know what java you have, google or ask a friend who knows

Caused by: java.net.SocketException: Address family not supported by protocol family: connect

Type the following line on your command window

setx _JAVA_OPTIONS -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

Please post your java, I suspect you are sitting with an outdated version

[darri66]

7.51

[darri66]

weres the command window

[Munaus]

Start -> All programs -> accessories -> command prompt
