I assumed that everybody has IPV6.

 From the QT5 page (http://blog.qt.io/blog/2011/07/05/ipv6-changes-in-qt5/)

/To further express that we take IPv6 seriously, I also have removed the 
support to compile with QT_NO_IPV6. I think that every platform that Qt5 
will run on also has support for IPv6.//
/
I have created a patch to disable IPv6 if it is not supported. Please 
test with the attached patch.
It will turn on the flag to disable IPv6 if it gets a "not supported" 
error when listening. So you will get only 1 such error message.
