  Frank, perhaps I''m misunderstanding you, but the IP address
''127.0.0.1'' always points to the loopback interface on your
client
machine, so that''s not going to work.

  You''ll need to connect to the server where you''ve installed
InstantRails using its IP address or hostname.  You can identify this
via ''ipconfig''.

  You can verify that InstantRails is running and listening on port 3000
via ''netstat -an'' and look for a socket marked as LISTEN on
port 3000.
If you don''t see that you know that Apache is not running and listening
for connections.  I''d look at the apache error log at that point and
resolve any startup errors you see.
