I now there is some problems with proxys, it look like the proxy settings in yum.conf dont work from yumex, i dont no why. I cant test it because dont have access to a system behind a proxy firewall. I have descripted a work around here: http://linux.rasmil.dk/cms/modules/news/article.php?storyid=19 Until i find a good solution.
