Hi Kwan
I executed the following on the host that was having problem:
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# wget http://www.google.com --22:14:25-- http://www.google.com/ Resolving www.google.com... 74.125.19.105, 74.125.19.99, 74.125.19.106, ... Connecting to www.google.com|74.125.19.105|:80... failed: Connection timed out. Connecting to www.google.com|74.125.19.99|:80... failed: Connection timed out.
Which shows that i am not getting connected to the internet.
Now coming to the second point on whether i am using a proxy or not ? , I really dont know whether i am using a proxy or not. When i used a similar CentOS box on which i was successful in connecting to the internet i issues the same command as mentioned above and it got connected and downloaded the web file.
How do i find whether i have proxy configured on the host that is connecting to the internet ? If you can guide me through this then i can replicate the configuration from the above host to the hosts that are not getting connected to the internet.
Thanks Jatin

Hi
I wanted to download and install the net-snmp package. Usually on my other CentOS boxes i use the following command to do it:
yum install net-snmp
I was able to successfully install net-snmp on 4 of my CentOS boxes but not on one of them. It reports me the following error message:
[root@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum install net-snmp Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Determining fastest mirrors Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError:<urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
Can you access the internet from that machine? Do you require a proxy to connect? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
