Hi, I bought a new DSL modem on ebay last week. Everything works fine, except that I can no longer do a yum update or connect using gaim. In particular, gaim hangs while authenticating while gaim provides the following: # yum update Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: core failure: repodata/repomd.xml from core: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. Error: failure: repodata/repomd.xml from core: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try. I somehow believe that this is some setting on the modem which needs to be correctly set, since another machine connected on a different T1-line seems to do just fine connecting. Btw, the DSL modem has a firewall, set at NAT (Network Address Translation only) and I can do almost everything else just fine. Can someone please help or suggest what I should look at? Many thanks and best wishes, Globe __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
