With Pirut and Pup, after a few seconds I get the "Cannot retrieve software

a "Yum -y update" I get the following error.

I know the machine is connected to the network, and can browse the internet
fine. Another FC6 box on the same
network can add/remove update software fine. What might be causing the
difference?
Thanks in advance.
I used yum update without the -y and 13 hours later my FC6 was up to date
with 450 updates and 630 MB.
Not sure what the -y does.
-y just answers "yes" to if you want to apply the updates.
I have encountered the problem you are seeing. Something is not timing
out correctly. It sounds like you are connecting to the site, but the
connection is getting hung up before it delivers content.
Are you going through a firewall? Pix firewalls sometimes do this,
especially when not configured correctly.
