Actually here we go try this bud

Looks like your rails server is binding to 0.0.0.0 by default which is a nono so run this

rails server -b 127.0.0.1:3000

That should fix your issue

Just a precaution I would do is run the following command inside your rails directory.

Bundle install

The only other thing I could say is something is using the port 3000 that webrick normally binds too
