Hi

To use yum with proxy you have to configure 3 files:
/etc/yum.conf: add the line
    proxy=http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyy
where yyy is the port.

/etc/wgetrc: There are 2 lines that you have to edit:
    http_proxy=http://xxxx(...):yyy
    ftp_proxy=http://xxx.(...):yyy

/root/.bash_profile
    export http_proxy=http://xxx(...):yyyy
    export ftp_proxy=http://xxx(...):yyyy

Regards

mg.
