SocketException in selenium webdriver

Question

My selenium code is executing successfully on firefox and chrome browsers using selenium latest jars(2.47.1) but I am getting this exception java.net.SocketException on the console from last few days. Please help me and thanks in advance.

My code looks like following and it is working fine:

public class testngClass1 {

    public static WebDriver driver;

    @Test
    public static void a() {
        driver=new FirefoxDriver();
        driver.get("http://www.newtours.demoaut.com/");
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        System.out.println("QWERYT");
    }

    @Test
    public static void b() {

        driver.findElement(By.name("userName")).sendKeys("QWERYT");
        System.out.println("QWERYT");
        // driver.quit();
    }
}

The stack trace of the exception is:

I was also having the same problem. I tried with

-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true & it worked for me. To run with that command

right click on the script > Click on Run As > Run Configuration > Arguments > VM Arguments Add -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true > Apply > Run
