Perhaps you should try with one less "t" in HTTP

I'm running out of options in what could be the root of that error
you're getting.

Can you please try this in a irb session?

require 'net/http'
Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse("http://gems.rubyforge.org/yaml"))
Net::HTTP.get_response(URI.parse("http://production.s3.rubygems.org/
yaml"))

The first get_response should output something like this:
=> #<Net::HTTPFound 302 Found readbody=true>

And the second one:
=> #<Net::HTTPOK 200 OK readbody=true>

If you get an error there, then is something really wrong in your TCP/
IP configuration that blocking you out.

Will need more details about your OS version, if you have adding
privileges and what type of antivirus and firewall software you use.
