Shouldn't be...

What platform?  Is you DNS working? DRb performs a DNS lookup to  
discover your local hostname.

$ cat simple_server.rb
#!/usr/bin/env ruby -w
# simple_service.rb
# A simple DRb service

# load DRb
require 'drb'

# start up the DRb service
DRb.start_service nil, []

# We need the uri of the service to connect a client
puts DRb.uri

# wait for the DRb service to finish before exiting
DRb.thread.join
$ ruby -v simple_server.rb
ruby 1.8.3 (2005-06-17) [powerpc-darwin8.1.0]
druby://kaa.local:58927
^Csimple_server.rb:15:in `join': Interrupt
         from simple_server.rb:15
