Ruby

Hi I am following:
http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/drb/introduction.html

the first program of manipulating array:
if I run server on a computer in LAN:
then I get it as:
druby://myMachine:54185

but when I run client as on a diffrent computer:
ruby client.rb druby://myMachine:54185

it gives error:
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:736:in open': druby://myMachine:54185 - #<SocketError: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known> (DRb::DRbConnError) from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:729:in each’

Probably that other computer cannot resolve “myMachine”. Try using the
