Testing Server

I'm starting a new project with ruby on rails, and I put a fresh version of 1.7 rails on my external hard drive to use. I succesfully generated the new project files, but when I go to start the server, using InstantRails, it says it is operating on 0.0.0.0:3000, isn't this supposed to be 127.0.0.1:3000? I haven't gotten a chance to work with RoR, for about a month, so I can't be certain, but I could've sworn...Anyway, when I go to 0.0.0.0:3000, it displays a "Cannot Display this Page" Page. Another detail that I'm not sure if it is important or not, but every time I launch InstantRails, it says "would you like to change the path from (and then it says some path with opensource projects as one of the folder names in the path), to the path that InstantRails is launched from.

Thanks for all of you help. If I was unclear, please let me know.

0.0.0.0 means that its listening on any interface. it's not a host you
can actually connect to. You should still be able to connect to
127.0.0.1:3000 in your browser.

Hmm...Thank you for your suggestion...It worked. The weird thing is that when I tried this earlier it didn't. Anyway, problem resolved. Thanks again.
