This comment was split from the discussion: rails installation fails

Hi, I've been trying all week with various levels of failure and have tried anything I could find to get connected to rubygems.org. Any assistance would be appreciated. My details are pasted below:

No Proxy Info:

C:\DevKit>gem install rspec --no-ri --no-rdoc
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'rspec' (>= 0), here is why:
          Unable to download data from http://rubygems.org/ - no such name (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)

With Proxy Info:

C:\DevKit>gem install rspec --no-ri --no-rdoc --http-proxy=http://XXXXXXX:XXXXXXX@proxy:8083
ERROR:  Could not find a valid gem 'rspec' (>= 0), here is why:
          Unable to download data from http://rubygems.org/ - server did not return a valid file (http://rubygems.org/latestspecs.4.8.gz)

   As to your first problem, what type of authentication does your proxy require?

   As to your second problem, -v requires a version. Which version of rails did you wish to install?

   If you wish to see verbose output, use -V

   Additionally, it seems like your name server is not returning a host for rubygems.org.

   First, thanks for your time. I'm not 100% sure what you mean for proxy authentication so I'll have to check but we single sign on with network username/password for most uses including web browsers.

   Here is the debug using -V:

   I can browse to it (rubygems.org,) would it not be using the same name server? I'm not a systems guy so please bear with me. Thanks

   Have you tried doing this:

   gem install rspec --no-http-proxy
