Java is a little broken in Squeeze at the moment.

One fix..

In file:  /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only
Change "net.ipv6.bindv6only = 1"
to "net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0".

Then restart the procps service (as root, /etc/init.d/procps restart) or
reboot.

Java should then work.

It's a current bug.  The full discussion:
