[Res] "Connection timed out: connect" error in soapUI 4.5.1

Hi,
After doing some succesfully testing in soapUI 4.0.1 and 4.5.0 I tried to install to soapUI 4.5.1. I run soapUI on Windows 7, 32 bit. The Java version is 1.7.0_07. The firewall is disabled. I use Cisco AnyConnect VPN version 3.0.4235 as a way to VPN to my work network, where the endpoint reside. In soapUI 4.5.0 I had to disable IPv6 to make it work, which I did by adding -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true to the file
c:\Program Files\SmartBear\soapUI-Pro-4.5.0\bin\soapUI-Pro-4.5.0.vmoptions.
When testing in soapUI 4.5.1 I gets this Java error with unchanged project, configuration and environment:

    Hi John,

    hmm... ok, and you have added

    java.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

    to the soapui .vmoptions / .bat file?

    regards,

    Hi Ole,
    yes, it is in the file soapUI-Pro-4.5.1.vmoptions:
    -Xms128m
    -Xmx1000m
    -Dsoapui.properties=soapui.properties
    -Dsoapui.home=C:\Program Files\SmartBear\soapUI-Pro-4.5.1/bin
    -Dsoapui.ext.libraries=C:\Program Files\SmartBear\soapUI-Pro-4.5.1/bin/ext
    -Dsoapui.ext.listeners=C:\Program Files\SmartBear\soapUI-Pro-4.5.1/bin/listeners
    -Dsoapui.ext.actions=C:\Program Files\SmartBear\soapUI-Pro-4.5.1/bin/actions
    -Dwsi.dir=C:\Program Files\SmartBear\soapUI-Pro-4.5.1/wsi-test-tools
    -Djava.library.path=C:\Program Files\SmartBear\soapUI-Pro-4.5.1/bin
    -Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true
    -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
    -Djxbrowser.xulrunner.dir=C:\Program Files\SmartBear\soapUI-Pro-4.5.1\.JxBrowser

    I will try to make a tcpdump (Wireshark) with soapUI 4.0.1 and 4.5.1

    Hi Ole,
    from the two Wireshark traces I could see that the problem has something to do with authorizing i soapUI 4.5.1.
    Then I compared the Request Properties in soapUI 4.0.1 vs 4.5.1 and could see that in soapUI 4.5.1 there was a new property called "Authentication Type" (after the "Domain" property). The default value of this was "Global HTTP Settings". I tried to change this to the value "Preemptive" and now I got the expected response from my endpoint.
