First try with yum: 'yum list' gives complaint that the [base] url returns "connection refused". That's funny, if I paste the generated url into firefox I can get there every time. What gives?Douglas,
Are you behind a firewall? If so you need to set the http_proxy environment variable and export it. Most browsers have their own proxy settings.
I set it in /etc/profile
add these lines
http_proxy="http://proxy_server.your_company.com:8080/" export http_proxy
Thanks,
