Did you start your Rails application by issuing the command

$ ruby script/server

in your project''s home directory? You must do this to start webrick,  
Ruby''s built-in webserver. (If you have lighttpd installed, script/ 
server will use it instead, unless you invoke it like this: script/ 
server webrick). Only then will your Rails application be listening  
for connections on the default port of 3000.

Do you maybe have a firewall running that''s blocking port 3000?
