Hi, I've just installed a fresh CentOS 5.2 Now, I run "yum update" and I get: "Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again" I have Internet connection, but I cant ping mirrorlist.centos.org and http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os just stalls. Is there another "mirror list" and if so, how do I configure it ? Any help would be appreciated. Warm Regards, -- :wq! M?rio Gamito

If you happen to hit the bad one, the above can happen. Cheers, Ralph -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
