Since you are able to use firefox, for example, without problem it doesn't appear you have a true network issue. Or, at least, it isn't local to you. If firefox were also giving you grief it would be a different story. Generally I'm having no issues with yum on updates or installs. I did have to add "exclude=.gov, .sg" to my fastestmirror.conf as I use yum-plugin-fastestmirror and have had issues with slow network to Singapore. Are you using yum-plugin-fastestmirror? -- In a medium in which a News Piece takes a minute and an "In-Depth" Piece takes two minutes, the Simple will drive out the Complex. -- Frank Mankiewicz
