Add the following to /etc/wgetrc http_proxy = http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080/ ftp_proxy = http://username:password@proxy.example.com:8080/ ... the web filter will need to be able to do http byte-range requests though. The proxy we have at work can't, yum should be able to deal without but can't so I have to rsync each of the repositories down locally and run yum from them. Dan
