Rails - Jul 2007 - webrick across network

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

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

This sounds promising. I''m not sure where the configuration for Webrick
*IS*. I''ve even grepped for 3000 figuring that if there''s a 
configuration somewhere, it has to have the port in it.

Where can I find / change the Webrick configuration?

Try running the script/server command with -h

That prints:

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.

Hope this helps -
