[CentOS] Could not retrieve mirror list while using yum command
Hi I wanted to download and install the net-snmp package. Usually on my other CentOS boxes i use the following command to do it: yum install net-snmp I was able to successfully install net-snmp on 4 of my CentOS boxes but not on one of them. It reports me the following error message: [r...@localhost yum.repos.d]# yum install net-snmp Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Determining fastest mirrors Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5arch=i386repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError: urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out') Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base Other output that can be some use is : [r...@localhost yum.repos.d]# ls CentOS-Base.repo CentOS-Media.repo Can someone please let me know what the issue is ? and how to get it working ?

Re: [CentOS] Could not retrieve mirror list while using yum command
Hi Kwan I executed the following on the host that was having problem: [r...@localhost yum.repos.d]# wget http://www.google.com --22:14:25-- http://www.google.com/ Resolving www.google.com... 74.125.19.105, 74.125.19.99, 74.125.19.106, ... Connecting to www.google.com|74.125.19.105|:80... failed: Connection timed out. Connecting to www.google.com|74.125.19.99|:80... failed: Connection timed out. Which shows that i am not getting connected to the internet. Now coming to the second point on whether i am using a proxy or not ? , I really dont know whether i am using a proxy or not. When i used a similar CentOS box on which i was successful in connecting to the internet i issues the same command as mentioned above and it got connected and downloaded the web file. How do i find whether i have proxy configured on the host that is connecting to the internet ? If you can guide me through this then i can replicate the configuration from the above host to the hosts that are not getting connected to the internet.
