Even if preferIPv4Stack is false then IPv6 may be disabled on the system 
so I suspect it will need to use NetworkInterface to see if there are 
IPv6 addresses on any of the interfaces. I think we have other tests 
that need to do the same thing (as you can probably guess, my motive for 
bringing this up during the review is to ensure that the test would be 
reliable in such environments).
