How to deploy rails apps from a VM Ware Virtual Machine?

Rails

Has anyone had any luck deploying rails apps in a Linux VM image on a
production MS Server 2003 with IIS ?

If so which image did you use a a base?

I am currently using a Gentoo image and have installed ruby and rails
but
after performing a rails testapp and running webrick with ruby
script/server I get a page timeout when trying to visit
http://0.0.0.0:3000or
http://127.0.0.1:3000 and I get no error messages.

Does anyone else have to deploy in Windows and stay within a VM sandbox?

Thanks!

We run multiple Rails applications in Ubuntu VMs on windows hosts
(normally XP; waiting on an ESX server) without any issues.
