I added the line about proxy in my /etc/yum.conf but with no result. I also want to say that I inserted the info about the proxy in my .bash_profile as, #yum export http_proxy="http://:" [1] I also inform you that if I run: nm-tool I got as reply : ... NetworkManager Tool State: disconnected - Device: eth0 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Type: Wired Driver: sky2 State: unmanaged HW Address: 00:00:00:00:00:00 Capabilities: Supported: yes Carrier Detect: yes Speed: 100 Mb/s Wired Settings If I understand correctly that's the proof that yum does not see my connection. but remember... I surf internet, services like network, ypbind, NetworkManager are running... so what's to do?
