Subject: Re: Issues about Rubygems

Hey there-
     I've seen this problem on Windows a bunch of times come up on  
the list. Most of the time it is because you are running ZoneAlarm.  
ZoneAlarm does some funky stuff with how windows handles sockets. So  
it is not enough to just turn ZoneAlarm off. You must uninstall it  
completely and then gems should work for you. If you don't have  
ZoneAlarm then there must be some other issue. HTH
