Have you set the proxy configuration? Check 'man yum' and search for 'proxy'. "No route to host" is (surprise, surprise) a routing problem, so that could be a proxy issue. Now try these: a) telnet download.fedora.us 80 (I expect it to give you a similar error.) b) export your proxy variable and try with urlgrabber (as you did above) again. If that doesn't work, we'll keep looking. -Michael Best Regards ---------------------------------------------------------------- "In God We Trust, The Rest We Monitor" ---------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Michael Silva Systems Management IBM Global Services - Portugal e-mail : peter.silva@xxxxxxxxxx phone : +351 214236326
