Installing Rails in RoR

Rails
1

I’m trying to install RoR on Windows XP x32

I’ve tried different variations of installing Rails such as

gem install rails --include-dependencies
INFO: ‘gem install -y’ is now default and will be removed
INFO: use --ignore-dependencies to install only the gems you list
ERROR: http://rubygems.org/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR: could not find a valid gem ‘rails’ ()=0) in any repository

gem install rails
ERROR: http://rubygems.org/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR: could not find a valid gem ‘rails’ ()=0) in any repository

gem install rails -v=2.3.5
ERROR: http://rubygems.org/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR: could not find a valid gem ‘rails’ (=2.3.5) in any repository

The versions I have installed are:

gem -v
1.3.7

ruby -v
ruby 1.8.6 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 287) [i386-mswin32]

I’ve tried updating the system and I got errors

gem update --system
Updating RubyGems
ERROR: http://rubygems.org/ does not appear to be a repository
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteFetecher::FetchError)
Erron::ETIMEOUT: A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to
respond. - connect(2) (http://rubygems.org/yaml)

Help please!

Have you checked your network connection?
Maybe you need to connect the internet via proxy?

How would I do that?

Success, it was merely my server blocking gem. Thanks for the help!
