Re: Fwd: localhost not equal at 127.0.0.1

Given this information it would appear to be a bug in the java network
classes on this platform. All the jdbc code is doing is opening a
socket connection to localhost via ( connection = new Socket(host,
port); ). So for some reason the Java Socket class is thinking
localhost maps to the wrong IP address.
