Trying typing "env" immediately before running yum (i.e. as root) and

see if there are any environment settings with names including "proxy".

Paul

no proxy at env command!!!
And Synaptic is running o.k.

Does:

wget

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml

(that's one line)

create a repomd.xml file in your current directory on this machine?

$ wget

Paul.

and of course from another computer on same network, wget works.

But what about on the one where you're having problems?

Paul.

You have missed my previous e-mail :-)
No, it doesn't work.This is the output......

[root@Contec antoniomontagnani]# wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedo ra/linux/core/4/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml --09:13:47-- http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/os/ repodata/repomd.xml

         => `repomd.xml'

Risoluzione di download.fedora.redhat.com in corso... fallito: No such file or d irectory.

Output is in Italian, but fallito means failed!!!

If you have bind-utils installed, what's the output of:

$ host download.fedora.redhat.com

Otherwise, try:

# ping download.fedora.redhat.com
