Hi, I have built a simple RoR application and would like to show it to some friends. I would like to assign a dyndns URI like "myapp.dyndns.org" address to point to the application. As the WEBrick/Mongrel servers are running in "localhost (so loopback connections)" and I couldn''t bind them to the external server name or couldn''t bind them to my IP address. What is the simplest way to share a RoR application? Thanks, Hari -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Kate, I was able to bind it to my internal IP e.g. 192.168..but couldn''t connect from external machines even though I have configured the router to forward the port. How can I achieve this?
