Hi, all.

I was getting:

from epel: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.
  You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem`

every time I ran `sudo yum update'. This happened on Fedora 17 also. 
I've had to switch both machines to Ubuntu because I need working machines.

I've Googled this extensively & changed my nameservers, commented out 
relevant lines in the configs, etc, etc but no luck so far. Ubuntu works 
fine & I have no network problems (two HP ProCurves 2124s working 
normally over the rest of the network: 17 machines).

Is there a workaround for this as I need a working CentOS box.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,

     Phil...
