The pptp repository doesn't seem to work with 5.4. yum list times out: http://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/rhel5/i386/repodata /primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 4] Socket Error: (104, 'Connection reset by peer') Trying other mirror. Same problem for other mirrors. rpming from it times out: rpm -ivh http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/rhel5/pptp-release- current.noarch.rpm Retrieving http://pptpclient.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/rhel5/pptp-release- current.noarch.rpm error: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.MLsFA7: headerRead failed: hdr blob(7575): BAD, read returned 3568 error: /var/tmp/rpm-xfer.MLsFA7 cannot be installed wget gets a percentage, times out, gets some more, times out, etc. Visiting with browser loads some and then times out from non-5.4 machines things seem to go smoothly, of course I don't install from there because it is the wrong version. I talked to the people at Sourceforge for a while. They did some tests and then said everything there was OK, so it might be something with the pptp part (e.g., pptpclient). I did try various IP connections and MTU sizes set., none of which worked. Any known problems with the pptp site and CentOS 5.4? Could it be a 5.4 error? Stuff from other repositories seems to yum install OK.
