Hi… I am new to RoR development, and Web development in general (but have about 25 years of IT/software experience - just not in the Web area)… I have a really good RoR 2.X book that I have read and reread a few times and starting to try to apply what I read… Have a Web app that I need to write at work, and prove to folks that RoR is THE\_WAY, despite their ASP .NET protests otherwise… So, we have a Microsoft environment and we are using MS SQL Server… I need the activerecord-sqlserver-adapter file(s) but we don’t have Internet connectivity in the development environment, so I can’t use gems to download/install it the easy way… how do I go about finding it/downloading it/installing it… I have already downloaded and installed the other necessary ingredients (InstantRails 2.X, dbi and the ADO file)… thanks TONs in advance for your assistance!!, southside\_bruce ---
