I tried running msconfig, chose selective startup, then rebooted. Thereafter, I could browse with IE, Firefox, but once I stop browsing for a while, and then try again, they fail again. No, I do not have a firewall. I'm very concerned as I have developed the rails app on the machine and desperately need to get the app back up and running. Can you tell me the name of the process that runs Webrick on Windows?
