Subject: Net::Telnet doesnt work but command line telnet does

I am making a simple remote control to vlc and running into troubles on
ubuntu. This all works in windows however but not in ubuntu. I have no
idea what could be different. When I use net/telnet I get a connection
refused but if I use telnet everything works fine.

with ruby:

irb(main):004:0> telet = Net::Telnet.new("Host" => "localhost", "Port"
=> 4444, "Prompt" => //)
Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/telnet.rb:352:in `initialize'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/telnet.rb:352:in `open'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/telnet.rb:352:in `initialize'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:67:in `timeout'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/timeout.rb:101:in `timeout'
  from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/net/telnet.rb:351:in `initialize'
  from (irb):4:in `new'
  from (irb):4
  from :0

with commandline:

telnet localhost 4444
Trying ::1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
VLC media player 1.1.9 The Luggage
Remote control interface initialized. Type `help' for help.

to test as well, I run vlc with this

vlc --extraintf rc --rc-host=localhost:4444

If anyne can help I would appreciate it greatly
