In 9536379da4c8ed61 and 8b0cb0e666f I've tried to call virNetSocketCheckProtocolByLookup() only if we are suspecting the host is IPv4 or IPv6 capable (because we've found an interface with such address). However, the code was missing dereference of the boolean variables and thus was comparing pointers against NULL.
