[rspec-users] drbspec - "no server running"

At times I''ve gotten the message "No Server Running" from
drbspec
with my rails app.  The thing is, the drb server certainly is running!

This happened a few times with my model specs.  I''m not sure exactly
what the problem was there - I believe I was loading up fixtures that
didn''t exist.  I was calling fixtures :singular_table_name as opposed
to fixtures :plural_table_name

This time it happened with my controller.  I generated the controller
with the ./script/generate rspec_controller ControllerName command...

It doesn''t appear that the specs are setup to fail to begin with, but
if this were the default behavior, one certainly shouldn''t see a
"No
Server Running"

I could create a short screen cast if someone would like me to, or
elaborate...

Best,
