Subject: [ruby-talk:14281] basic socket question

This should be an easy one for anyone that has successfully used sockets in
Ruby.
What is wrong with this two-line program?

require 'socket'
socket = TCPSocket.new('services.xmethods.net', 80)

I get the following when I run it.

SocketTest.rb:2:in `new': Invalid argument - "connect(2)" (Errno::EINVAL)
        from SocketTest.rb:2
