If I change this file /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo to this: [base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base #mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os&infra=$infra baseurl=http://some.mirror.in.my.state/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 <file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6> it works to do updates (and the other baseurl lines in that file). It fails with the mirror list option. I have a centos 6.2 box here that is working just fine with updates and it looks very similar to this 6.7 box - updated from 6.3). I even tried going from static IP to dhcp assigned IP but no go. I just check /var/log/yum.log, but that doesn’t show any errors, just successful updates. -wes
