I’m running InstantRails on a Windows machine. I’ve got Mongrel running  
and localhost:3000 is resolving correctly and everything is working  
great locally. I want to view the app from another machine on the same  
LAN. I’ve tried http:// and http://:3000 but  
neither of those work. What am I missing?

Use the IP address of the machine instead of computer name.

Thanks!
