That could mean you're not connected to the internet or that computer
cannot resolve the gems.rubyforge.org hostname.

try the following into a console window:

ping gems.rubyforge.org


You should get some output like:

Pinging gems.rubyforge.org [205.234.109.19] with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 205.234.109.19: bytes=32 time=424ms TTL=54

If not, then there is something wrong with your TCP/IP Configuration.

HTH,
