Subject: Re: gem install rails hangs

your network connection appears to be functioning normally,
which means your problem appears to be with Ruby, or the 32-bit
image of Ruby on your 64-bit system.

I would try installing Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) and the Ruby
version that comes precompiled for it. Cygwin says they are 64-bit
compatible, thus should run on Windows x64.

If that doesn't work, I would look at compiling Ruby 1.8.2 natively
on your system.

Sorry, I can't think of an easier solution. Installing Cygwin is easy
and only takes a few minutes. Hopefully that will work (it works well
for me).
