Excellent!

That is a very strange sequence of errors - an accept error should only 
happen after the listen socket is setup...  Also interesting is that 
netserver is reporting starting on port 12865 rather than the -p 8000 
you passed-in.

Assuming there is no other netserver running, what do you get if you 
just say netserver.exe?  Do you end-up with a running netserver and a 
listen endpoint at 12865?

Also, looking at the source code, -d for netserver doesn't take an 
argument, so I suspect that may be confusing things.  You might try your 
command line again just saying -d or saying -d several times.

FWIW, unless you need the control connection to be IPv6, you can have an 
IPv4 control connection and an IPv6 data connection.  You just use 
test-specific options in the netperf command line to tell it the IP's 
and such.
