[BioRuby] Blast Problem

[george]

Hi,
am trying to run a remote blast job as follows:

require 'bio'
sequence_text='MRKLYCVLLLSAFEFTYMINFGRGQNYWEHPYQNSDVYRPINEHREHPKEYEYPLHQEHT

program = 'blastp'
  database = 'SwissProt'
  options = '-e 0.0001'
  serv = Bio::Blast.new(program, database, options)

  server = 'genomenet'
  genomenet = Bio::Blast.remote(program, database, options, server)

  report = serv.query(sequence_text)

But i get this:

What could be the reason?

Thanks
