whopes, you’ve already tried that… you may want to install it  
directly from web… don’t download the tar ( delete it if it’s  
present in the current dir) and then run ‘gem install rails’, it  
should ask for installing the dependencies automatically…

Hi,

```
  I tried to install directly from web also

```

C:\>gem install rails  
ERROR: While executing gem … (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)  
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not  
properly res  
pond after a period of time, or established connection failed because  
connected  
host has failed to respond. - connect(2)(Errno::ETIMEDOUT)

I think it’s behind firewall.

Please, now how can i install Rails on my system.

Thanks  
Suchi
