Re: Problem installing gems

There aren't any proxies on this network. I have a standard network
setup with just a firewall that allows outbound access for everything.
I have also tried switching on and off the windows firewall which hasn't
made any difference.

Hmmm ... what is the proxy situation on that particular box? Browsers
tend to pick up the proxy configuration automatically, but many tools
(perhaps including wget) need a http_proxy environment variable set.
