Hello,  
I have a win 2003 server which is hosting a website on IIS. If i  
want to add a rails rails application on that server what do i need to  
do. What i have done till now is installed mongrel and then ran it as  
mongrel\_rails start -p 192.168.1.200 -a 3002  
(Currently only for intranet that’s why the address 192.168.1.200)

When i try to connect to [http://192.168.1.200:3002/controller/view](http://192.168.1.200:3002/controller/view)(e.g.  
[http://192.168.1.200/person/new](http://192.168.1.200/person/new)) from the same machine i have no problem  
but when i try to connect to the same address from any other machine on  
the network i am unable to connect.  
Do i need to do something else.  
Please help me.  
Thank you.  
Regards,  
An.

Correction:  
mongrel\_rails start -p 192.168.1.200 -a 3002 is to be corrected as  
mongrel\_rails start -a 192.168.1.200 -p 3002  
in the above question

You need to get IIS to proxy the requests over to mongrel.
