[WBEL-users] Yum - Up2date ...

[p.banholzer]

thank you Brian,
but I'm not sure that's about with closer mirrors.
I sent another mail about this problem :
"it seems it has something to do with my firewall.
yum or up2date need some special ports or rules ?"
because when I "open" my firewall it works !
but I don't know what's wrong ...
