I do my development on a Linux box. I'd like to test my code on a
Windows box running IE - as that is what most of my users will have. The
problem is that I can't access the Webrick server on my Linux box from
another computer on the network. It just can't connect.
I'm guessing that there is some configuration I'm missing - but I can't
find it. Can someone offer some help?
Thanks in Advance

Michael,
I can think of two things to check (probably obvious, yet I thought I will mention them):
a) Make sure you can ping the Linux box from the windows machine. Someimes one way works, but not the other way.
b) Also make sure Webrick is using 0.0.0.0:3000 and not 127.0.0.1:3000
Cheers

Usage: server [options]
-p, --port=port Runs Rails on the specified port.
Default: 3000
-b, --binding=ip Binds Rails to the specified ip.
Default: 0.0.0.0
-d, --daemon Make server run as a Daemon.
-e, --environment=name Specifies the environment to run
this server under (test/development/production).
Default: development
-h, --help Show this help message.
Something you might want to check: set your binding IP, your Port,
and make sure your Firewall rules will allow the incoming connection.
