ubuntu-10.04

hi,

I have a Ruby on Rails web application running on my computer (Ubuntu 10.04) that I'd like to be able to access from a remote machine. My server is mongrel but I have no problem installing another if it helps. How do I set things up so I can access my web application from a remote machine?
