A guy who was working through my Rolling wit Ruby on Rails tutorial had
this
happen and posted it to the articles comments. I’ve never seen this
before… does anyone know what could cause this? I copied his post
below.

Subject: Problems using Instant Rails
Author: juantar
Text of message:
I am using Instant Rails which comes with Rails 1.0, WEBrick 1.3.1 and
Ruby
1.8.2 and I ran the WEBrick server and it starts on http://0.0.0.0:3000
and
not http://127.0.0.1:3000. However, when I tried to connect to
http://0.0.0.0:3000 using my browser, a dialog pops up telling me that
“the
connection was refused”. Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?.
Thank you.
It doesn’t really mean it is listening on 0.0.0.0 - this actually
means that it is listening on any interface on the computer,
including 127.0.0.1 and any other IP addresses.
Your reader should connect to http://127.0.0.1:3000.
Mine’s always said it starts on 0.0.0.0 (I’m using normal Rails, not the
Instant kind). I just assume its some sort of network-geek alias for
localhost and go there instead. localhost:3000 works fine.

Tell them to disable their firewall.
