Are you behind a proxy firewall by any chance? Do you need to configure 
your browser with proxy settings before you can access the Internet? If 
so I think you'll need to tell Ruby that too. (Unix would be http_proxy 
environment variable, not sure about Windows)

You could also see what this does:

telnet gems.rubyforge.org 80
GET / HTTP/1.0

(then hit enter twice). If you get a page of HTML back, you don't need a 
proxy. If it fails to connect at all, maybe you do.
