Using a windows 8 not a mac

I seem to be having trouble following along with the instructions because i am not replicating the results well on my PC. currently i am stuck on the, http://localhost:3000/statuses/ , part is there a separate tutorial for windows or any advice you can give?

Yes when i try to access the 0.0.0.0:3000 or even when i go to the local server I'm not generating the same page for the 0.0.0.0:3000/statuses page. Is it a windows thing or is it my computer?

I ran into this same issue switching back and forth between mac and pc. The fix I found is using 127.0.0.1 instead of 0.0.0.0 to access the local server.
