Thanks Mike, I was definitely sending out the Bat Signal there, glad you responded. So, my issue is with node-sass-gulp and some version issue, which I will attempt to fix by back versioning to what you have listed there, and what bonatoque has listed:
I think what @aslani_mobil and @stirumala are dealing with is a network proxy issue and probably something different from what my issue is. I will report back if back versioning solves my issue.
