Failed to install Ruby on Rails

Greetings,

I am facing problem when installing the rails 2.1.0. i have saved the gem file in the bin folder, but it always come out with the error saying that rails require rake 0.8.1. I try to download the rake gem file, but also failed to install it. i have tried the command " gem install rails --include-dependencies" but error pop up saying that target machine refused to activate it.

May i know is there any other way for me to install rails?

Thanks a lot.

Sorry for not being clear. Below are the errors that i see.

1) when using command 'gem install rails' ERROR: While executing gem ... (RuntimeError)     Error instaling rails:         rails requires rake >= 0.8.1

2) when using command 'gem install rails --include-dependencies --remote' ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)     No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. - connect(2)(Errno::ECONNREFUSED)

3) when istalling rake 'gem install --remote rake' ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::RemoteFetcher::FetchError)     No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. - connect(2)(Errno::ECONNREFUSED)
