You must have the same classes loaded on both sides or have DRb::DRbUndumped added to the classes on the end with the classes loaded. >> Anyone have a simple example anywhere? >> >> >> > Ok after thinking I just wasn't getting it I found out my problem was > elsewhere.

You must either have MonitorMixin on both sides of the connection or include DRb::DRbUndumped into the class on the server side. http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/drb/introduction.html May be of interest to you.
