I assume you have something like: proxy=http://<hostname>:<port> with a possible proxy_username=whoever and proxy_password=whatever if required in yum.conf Check these again, I find I often read what I thought I typed, not what I actually did. If this is correct tcpdump may give you some useful information on what is actually happening. Regards
