'gem list --remote' is blank??

[Jon Garvin]

When running 'gem list --remote' on our linux and mac machines, we get a
huge list of available gems, but when doing the same on a windows laptop
in the office, we just get...

*** REMOTE GEMS ***

Bulk updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org/


and then after a long while, it returns to the command line without
listing any gems.

Does anybody have a clue what's going on? The laptop is on the network,
and we can browse to http://gems.rugyforge.org/ just fine.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

If that was intended to be a helpful suggestion, I'm afraid I don't
understand what you're trying to say.

It was a very droll (or troll?) joke

For me on windows, this list populates normally. Could it be a firewall
issue? Windows blocking outgoing traffic?

I have a similar problem. I think it's a firewall/proxy thing.
Googling "ruby gem firewall" gives a bunch of promising results about
workarounds, but I haven't tried any yet. I usually just download
through my browser then do a gem install -l.
