Now if I am not mistaken it is not the firewall like somebody mentioned. I am also able to browse the net comfortably. It is the goddamn proxy squid in my case which is causing all sorts of problems. If the OP in this case could go to some sites like the http://messenger.yahoo.com and try to download the ymessenger for RH 9 in my case it just goes like zzzzt and saves only 1 kb and says download complete. And this is not only for this site quite a few other sites have this problem while some others don't. I know for sure it is squid in my case because if I login to the server with my acct and export the display to my pc over ssh and run mozilla like that I can download all the required stuff since I am bypassing the proxy running on the server in this case or at least I think I am bypassing the proxy aren't I ?? But sadly I cannot change the squid conf there since I am not the admin and the bloody admin(hope he is reading this) does not seem to be interested to do it since he is not going through the server as he has a static public IP. Damn it. Is there anyway of tunneling yum through ssh like X or am I dreaming ? -- Arindam Dey The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.
