Fails to connect to the Oracle yum public server

cdcrOct 29 2011 — edited Oct 29 2011

Hello,

I would like to connect to the Oracle public yum server so I can install packages from the Oracle Linux via a yum client for my RHEL 5.4

I am trying to download and copy the appropriate yum configuration file in place, by running the following commands as root:

Oracle Linux 5
# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo

--2011-10-29 15:53:41-- http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo
Resolving public-yum.oracle.com... 141.146.44.34
Connecting to public-yum.oracle.com|141.146.44.34|:80... failed: Connection timed out.
Retrying.

It disabled the Linux firewall by /etc/init.d/iptables stop but it still doesn't help.

Thank you.
