The answer is in the error message. You need to add to the
AllowedConnectHosts section of the wwwoffle.conf file an entry for the
address ::ffff:192.168.0.1 along with ::ffff:192.168.0.222 for your
two hosts.
What is happening is that an IP v6 (the newest version of the Internet
protocol) address is being used by WWWOFFLE because it has been
compiled with support for this. Unfortunately your system is unable
to convert this address back into a name. WWWOFFLE only has the IP
address to use for allowing or blocking access. Since the
AllowedConnectHosts section of the configuration file does not list
::ffff:192.168.0.1 then WWWOFFLE refuses it access.
