Hi Guys,

My apologies for earlier mail without subject line. kindly ignore.

i've CentOS 6.6 (Final) 64 bit version installed and I can not access the online repositories to install/update (pls see eror below the error), I tried to google this error I get a lot of links but nothing I could really solving this issue. I've already disabled ipv6 and also defined proxy in /etc/yum.conf.

[root@myhost ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, security Setting up Update Process Determining fastest mirrors * c6-media: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://mirror.centos.org/centos/6/os/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: (28, 'connect() timed out!') Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: base. Please verify its path and try again

If I try to use 'wget' to get 'repomd.xml' then it works fine.

Has anybody experienced this kind of beahviour and got it working ?

Thank you in advance for pointers.
