Dan,
I've not had any issue when downloading updates for Windows, SuSE Linux, or anything else. I
seriously doubt its a firewall issue. No proxy server involved either.
I did a basic install of CentOS 5 with the intention of using it as a hosting server. Its a
virtual machine in VMware ESX 3.0.1 which, AFAIK, supports RHEL 5.
Thanks for your help.
Mark

Here's what I have in the way of errors for Package Updater & yum
... Package Updater sees that there are 43 updates available, but bombs when trying to
retrieve them.
