are you behind a proxy? The version of yum in Centos 4.4 can handle a
proxy fine. You may have to manually upgrade yum on the FC4 machine to
the latest version that can handle proxies.

Hello,
I’ve been browsing the mailing list and newsgroups to no effect, so
apologies in advance if this problem has been described and solved before.
I have a problem connecting to yum from both Linux machines in my office
– one CentOS 4.4 box and a Fedora Core 4 machine. Up2date works fine on
the CentOS box.
The CentOS box does this:
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Setting up Package Sacks
Excluding Incompatible Archs
Finished
Reading Local RPMDB
Parsing package install arguments
No other yumex installed, adding to list for potential install
reduced installs :
yumex.noarch 0:1.0.2-1.0.c4

I assume these are similar errors – I checked the mailing lists and
whatever I could dig up on google and tried the proxy route – no joy, no
love. According to my sysadmin there is no proxy on this network, and
HIS Fedora Core 4 box does a yum update fine. Can anyone tell me a) how
I can get more detailed error information (yes, I have tried –e 10 and
–d 10, they don’t actually tell me anything about the connection, just
high-level stuff) and b)Whether there is any workaround for these
issues. I have tried going the route of hard-coded ftp-only repos in the
CentOS box and it responds with this:
