Edit /etc/yum.conf and add the following lines: proxy url to the proxy server that yum should use. proxy_username username to use for proxy proxy_password password for this proxy More information can be found by running man yum.conf on the command line. proxy_username and proxy_password are not required unless your proxy server requires a login. - Erich
