And you were using 127.0.0.1 and had no IPv4 connection setup between 
the two machines?

Using ‘localhost’ was not working for a lot of people.

I don’t know why it was failing and it’s not failing for me, but 
using the IPv4 IP made it work, and that is why we changed the 
documentation. Since then, only you and Brian have reported issues (with 
‘127.0.0.1’) and in both cases it sounds like the reason is lack of 
IPv4 (in Brian’s case it was disabled via an SSH setting).
