Like blasio pointed out. It seems like the Xfinity modems are setting up the search domain to home.network and this is messing things up for the reasons he mentioned (essentially, home.network is now a valid domain name that the modems are trying to contact before making a connection).
I had the same problem and the modification on resolv.conf seem to do the trick, and that should probably be an accepted solution for linux environments. I had this problem while attempting this on a virtual machine running ubuntu, and my host(OSX Mavericks) was passing down the search home.network like the modem is, so I wanted to see if I could find a solution that could be done at the host OS level because the same problem happened when I attempted gem install rails on my OSX terminal.
If you go to the OSX network settings, under DNS you'll see the home.network line under the Search Domains area. After some googling it seems that comcast recently changed this from http://hds1.ma.comcast.net'. I changed it back, restarted and gave gem install rails another shot, which worked with no problem.
Strange issue but this is a better solution that swapping modems or changing gem sources.
I had the same issue with Comcast xFinity and Compass.
Update for Windows 7 users:
Go to Control Panel > Network and Sharing Center
Under "Active Networks" select "Connections: Local Area Connections"
In the "Local Area Connection Status" dialogue box, click on "Properties"
Double click the IPv4 item
In the "Internet Proptocol Verion 4" icon or click the "Properties" button, then click "Advanced"
In the DNS tab, just above the 2nd input box, click the "Append These DNS suffixes (in order)" radio button,
then click "Add", enter "home.lan", then click OK until the dialogue closes.
Many thanks to John Smith for the Vista fix and Somnambulent for Win 8.1 fix.
Your DNS error seems to be related to .network becoming a TLD and your resolv.conf missing the ndots configuration. I just run into this issue with .prod.
Unless you have your own DNS server at home for internal .network domain, removing the search home.network from /etc/resolv.conf should fix the issue.
Since your /etc/resolv.conf is generated by resolveconf as it says in your resolv.conf, you might want to remove the home.network from your configuration, see here for example
I just want to say thank you to you all. Since I'm new here. I cannot add a comment even vote up. So I can only come to the answer part.
I got a problem as follow when I tried to install cocoapods:
➜ ~ gem install cocoapods
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Operation timed out - connect(2) for "your-dns-needs-immediate-attention.network" port 443 (https://your-dns-needs-immediate-attention.network/quick/Marshal.4.8/cocoapods-0.33.1.gemspec.rz)`enter code here`
Adding home.local into the DNS Search Domains fixes it.
Thanks again! I admire your spirit!!!
I'm using RVM (1.25.29), Ubuntu 14.04 and ruby 2.0.0. This was a fresh RVM and ruby 2.0 installation.
In my case I was trying to install OpenShift Online's command-line tool: rhc with "gem install rhc".
I finally fixed it by using bundle install and a Gemfile. I'm not sure why but bundle was able to get the gems via https to rubygems.org, but "gem install" could not.
Try creating a Gemfile with your gem in it as a temporary fix to get the gem installed.
Gemfile:
source 'https://rubygems.org'
# have bundle handle the gem install via https
gem 'rails'
Then run:
bundle install
The only way I was able to get it to work using "gem install" was to use:
gem install --source http://rubygems.org
But that's unsafe and NOT recommended.
I haven't been able to determine why bundle can install via https, but gem can't. I'm relatively new to ruby and rvm.
The bundler gem came with the rvm installation, but rubygems came with ruby2.0.0-p481. At first and because of the error I thought it had something to do with openssl, but after a lot of trial and error it seems to be related to missing, dependent gems.
After the gem was installed via bundle, I was able to uninstall it and then re-install via "gem install". I noticed that "bundle install" installed some missing network and ssl-related gems before installing "rhc".
Without knowing a whole lot about how bundle and gem install work I'm thinking that the bundler gem had "everything" it needed to go out via https while rubygems (which came with the ruby 2.0 install) didn't. And that would explain why after the bundle install, gem install worked.
I hope this works for anyone else that's encountered this. If not, at least it's one more thing to try ;-).
I'm using openSUSE 13.1 OS for my rails development. Suddenly I got the same issue and reported to the SUSE mailing list. And then got an very good explanation about the problem here.
Background: the tld ".site" is offically registered and thus no longer available for private use.
ToDo: Change your private tld, to something NOT registered.
Gotchas: ".local" is reserved for mDNS / ZeroConf / Bonjour / Rendezvous.
Do NOT use it for DNS / DHCP !
Examples:
".box", ".lan" : both are suggested by some Internet-Connect-Routers
(DSL/Cable/Fibre)
".lnet", ".your-name-here" (.ArupRakshit for you) : possible, worth to try.
HTH, Yamaban.
I followed his instrutions here
For future reader goto YAST -> Netwrok devices -> Network Settings ->
Hostname/DNS -> Domain Name (and here put your name).

New top level domains - .prod, .network are real domains not be be used as internal placeholder - https://icann.org/namecollision
For me "your-dns-needs-immediate-attention", actually meant "your gem sources are not valid".
gem source --list
Check the output. If the current list isn't valid, then you can simply
gem source -a https://rubygems.org
...or whatever other sources are appropriate. Then use the -r flag to remove the invalid sources.
it appears comcast recently appended home.network to customers DNS search path
I resolved this issue by completing the following steps on Windows Vista:
control panel -> network and sharing center -> manage network connections -> wireless properties -> ip4 properties -> advanced -> dns tab -> select append these dns suffices in order and added home.lan.
now gem install runs without a hitch
FWIW, if anyone's encountering this in Windows, here's how I fixed it (in 8.1).
Go to Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing Center
Click into your network adaptor's status, and from there into its properties
Double click the IPv4 item
In the IPv4 Properties, click Advanced...
In the DNS tab, look for the 'home.network' suffix, and remove it.
Hit OK a bunch of times :)
Now you should be good to go!
For me downloading and reinstalling gem from this page: https://rubygems.org/pages/download solved the Errno::ECONNREFUSED problem.
If you work on a Mac system, you can try to
sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf
by edit search statement with appending .local to a word.
EX:
# This file is automatically generated.
#
search network.local
NOTE: Above network is the domain for this case. You can use any word.
I had the same problem when trying to install premailer and upgrading ruby to current stable version (2.3.0) fixed the issue.
with rvm:
rvm install 2.3.0
rvm use 2.3.0
gem install premailer
of course, this applies to any gem, not just premailer
Replace the modem Comcast provided with another (Motorola Surfboard SB6141 in this case).
This is an unsatisfying solution, but a solution nonetheless.
I am trying to manually install rails, but have encountered the following error:
c:\Ruby193\bin>gem install rails
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rails' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
Errno::ETIMEDOUT: 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/
latest_specs.4.8.gz)
How can this be solved?
The steps I followed so far:
I installed Ruby from here: http://rubyinstaller.org/downloads/,
running the Ruby 1.9.3-p545 from the RubyInstaller section. (into
C:\Ruby193)
I installed also (for use with Ruby 1.8.7 and 1.9.3): the
DevKit-tdm-32-4.5.2-20111229-1559-sfx.exe into C:\RubyDevKit.
I went to RubyDevKit in cmd and typed:
dir dk.rb
ruby dk.rb init
ruby dk.rb install
I launched irb (typed irb in C:\RubyDevKit) to confirm ruby
works and it does.
I am right now faced with this problem
Reset DNS cache solved that problem for me
(Run "ipconfig /flushdns" from cmd shell)
Initially, I have ruby 1.9.3 version installed in my windows 7 and i have installed ruby 2.0.0p195 recently and have tested from command promot (ruby -v; ruby -e "puts 100"; irb )works pretty well.
ruby -v gives ruby 2.0.0p195 (2013-05-14) [i386-mingw32]
gem -v gives me 2.0.2

Since i'm getting so many errors, I have uninstalled both ruby versions and rebooted system and installed back (as suggested after googling and from few stackoverflow questions). But didn't help much.
Note: I have turned off windows firewall and tried installing. But I'm still getting Exception with openSSL issue.
Please suggest on this. Thanks!
The problem could be because you are behind proxy/firewall that blocks you from downloading from rubygems.org. See the below thread on rubygems.org for similiar issue:
http://help.rubygems.org/discussions/problems/799-ruby-gem-install-problems-on-windows-xp
Try using --http-proxy option while installing.
For people who are not able to make it work through --http-proxy, try the below. Added from the comment below.

I installed rvm and ruby successfully in a linux environment. When I try to install rail, that time I face following error:
$ gem install rails

My gem version is

Rvm version is "rvm 1.18.19 (stable) by Wayne E. Seguin , Michal Papis [https://rvm.io/]".
Please help me by letting me know why this error occurs.
You can use to install with below command
gem install rails --source http://rubygems.org
Yes, Finally I got the result. It seems like some sort of proxy problem. I set the proxy using export "$HTTP_PROXY=IPAddress which is given in browser:portnumber".
For any reference http://khylo.blogspot.in/2007/12/ruby-on-rails-headaches.html
Try running
sudo gem install rails
This may overcome the permission problem you are having
You also look to be having an internet connectivity problem based on the error message.
In my case the culprit was avast! Internet Security software on my MacBook Pro. I went to System Preferences, clicked on avast!, clicked on the lock to enable changes, and disabled the Web Shield and File System shield.
After that, I was able to install gems.
I have struggled to install rails for two days (I've been getting almost the same error message, but, without that "Insecure world ..." line). And at last I did it using the script below (provided at RailsGirls):
bash < <(curl -sL https://raw.github.com/railsgirls/installation-scripts/master/rails-install-ubuntu.sh)
I don't know why it worked. Just leaving it here with the hope that it will be helpful for some other soul as well. ;P
You should try disabling your IPV6 to install the required Gem file since the rails fetcher could not locate the source. If you are using a linux machine, you can check this link for the steps on how to disable your IPV6 https://www.linuxbabe.com/ubuntu/disable-ipv6-on-ubuntu
I am under Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
I am behind the proxy.
I have installed rvm to manage ruby versions.
I would like to install the rails but I have encountered the problem:
test#U205-UBUNTU:~$ gem install rails
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rails' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
bad response Forbidden 403 (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
I have tried different ways to force gem to use proxy setting:
1. gem install rails --http-proxy=http://10.10.16.8:3128
2. gem install rails -p=http://10.10.16.8:3128
3. export http_proxy=http://10.10.16.8:3128
4. I have added to .bashrc lines:
export http_proxy=http://10.10.16.8:3128
export https_proxy=https://10.10.16.8:3128
5. I have added to /etc/environment lines:
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games"
http_proxy=http://10.10.16.8:3128
https_proxy=https://10.10.16.8:3128
But nothing helped me.
I am still getting the message:
test#U205-UBUNTU:~$ gem install rails
ERROR: Could not find a valid gem 'rails' (>= 0) in any repository
ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)
bad response Forbidden 403 (http://rubygems.org/latest_specs.4.8.gz)
But apt-get and rvm work fine.
There was a problem with my proxy settings that restrict an access to Internet.
Sorry for incorrect question). The solution here is to add (as a superuser) the following to the file /etc/environment:
http_proxy=http://<proxy-host>:<proxy-port>
where
<proxy-host> is the real name of your proxy machine (or the ip address)
<proxy-port> is the port number you have to use
You don't have to set the proxy then for Gem.
