This problem appears on MacOS Sierra using Java8, updates equals or bigger than 60 (jdk1.8.0_60.jdk, jdk1.8.0_77.jdk, etc).

The solution can be found here: https://github.com/thoeni/inetTester.

This is the content of my /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1   localhost mac.local
::1         localhost mac.local

In my case, mac is my computer name.
