[Yum] installed, works, resolved connectivity issue, now ....how to get it to actually update.

[garrett.allen at comcast.net]

after the network guys punched holes in the firewall all is well in terms of obtaining access to our site-local repository. (not local as in on this box but within our network, and yes, they are internal firewalls).

here is what i now see:
