Recently, I am encountering some difficult in Yum Updates. So far, I am trying to update and it kept giving me a lot of timeout:<urlopen error timed out.>
I am behind a fortinet 60 firewall but it has open port 3128 specifically for yum updates.
Sorry everyone, being a newbie, I figure I should post the whole situation rather than painting a vague picture. Apologize for this long post but any help would be great if I could get yum to work.

[root@www ~]# yum clean all
yum clean metadata
yum clean dbcache

# To use this repo, put in your DVD and use it with the other repos too:
# yum --enablerepo=c5-media [command]

# or for ONLY the media repo, do this:

# This file uses a new mirrorlist system developed by Lance Davis for CentOS.
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and
# geographically close to the client. You should use this for CentOS updates
# unless you are manually picking other mirrors.
#
# If the mirrorlist= does not work for you, as a fall back you can try the
# remarked out baseurl= line instead.

If you use a proxy at port 3128 (3128 is typically the port for a proxy server), you need to configure yum to use it. If you fortinet is just a firewall, it should have port 80 opened, not 3128, as the yum servers are approached through the regular http port (80).
Thank you for your advice on the Media. I have disable it. Enclosed repolist.
