        URLName = "http://www.google.com";
        try {
          HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(false);
          HttpURLConnection con =
             (HttpURLConnection) new URL(URLName).openConnection();
          con.connect();
          System.out.println(con.getResponseCode());
          return (con.getResponseCode() == HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {           
           return false;

    Does the code work if you put it in a small program and execute it from the commandline?

    I can't believe the stack trace in the error message would be the same.

    You'll have to wait until someone with Windows 8 comes along.

    Where does the commandline with the java command etc come from?
    Can you modify that commandline to include that option?

    For example on Windows7 and XP I can change the registry entry.

    What you posted was paths to folders.
    What I am talking about is the commandline used to execute a java program. This is an example of a commandline:
    java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar JavaApplication1.jar

    How do you execute java programs?

    I created a mini program using netbeans, its saving the .jar file of the application in /dist folder. I am running that jar file using command line
    .../JavaApplication1/dist> java -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -jar JavaApplication1.jar

    I thought you were having a problem executing java programs. Why do you need a global setting if you are using a commandline with the needed option?
