No problem, I'm glad I could help.

It is a real shame that firewall software can have this affect, since it
is an important piece of software to have these days (especially on a
Windows machine.)

I can only hope that ZoneAlarm and Panda are the only ones with this
problem, and other firewalls can coexist with Ruby. Does anyone have a
list of firewall software that DO work with Ruby? Or rather, who has a
firewall installed and Ruby sockets are still working?
