Hi Nathaniel,

What does that mean, really?
============================
It means that you can write cool little DRb clients, distribute them 
far and wide, and then communicate with them bidirectionally regardless 
of whether they sit behind a firewall or not. 

After installing DRbfire on my Home PC (Win XP) which is behind a router (but no personal firewall) and on my Office PC (Win 2K) which is behind the corporate firewall, I started the server.rb from the sample directory on my Home. Then at office I started the client.rb and I got this error.

DO I need to modify the two programs to make it work? I have Ruby 1.8.1 on both PCs.

TIA,
