Hi again Antonio!
I just have a bit of a thought here. You may have simply a problem with the
URL names requested by yum. Is it possible that somehow the repositories
have been re-named (their URLs) and that was not completed in the update
process. If I try to nslookup or whois the long repo URLs you sent in your
first message they fail. Are the addresses differant (the requested URL's
yum is attempting to access) on the two machines? If I point firefox at the
addresses it finds them - perhaps the "redirection" switch in a yum config
file is set differently. Just bits of thoughts.
I must say I am curious what kind of Internet access you have over there?
How do you get Internet to the machines?
Ethereal gets down to the nitty gritty and would probably be a good one to
do here. Of course it takes time.
Good Hunting!
Tod
Just above was written last night - but under the digest title - I do that sometimes at night. My regrets.
