actually the reason was missing ipv6 support in server, thus this issue will be about improved server error message.

if server has been compiled w/o ipv6 support, it should still have capabilities to test address whether it's ipv6 one. if detected ipv6 address and no ipv6 support compiled in, server should say something like "Encountered IP '::1', but IPv6 support not compiled in."

Tested successfully. The error message was (DebugLevel=3):
