You can also download the gems you need (puppet, and its other required gems) from rubygems.org, copy them to your systems and use the gem command to install them locally to get around your firewall issue. You can even created your own gem repo within your network with these gems. For clarification, the command is 'gem install puppet' or 'gem install --version <your version> puppet' if using rubygems.org as your source.
