Title: Yum Update via SME proxy via VPN
Post by: mazkot on July 30, 2008, 09:59:58 AM

Hi,

We have a remote office with SME 7.2 running.
it is currently configured:
-Server Mode
-DHCP on
- Ip 192.168.7.2
- Proxy is set to 192.168.1.8


and connected to a vpn modem which IP is 192.168.7.1.

Here in the head office we have a SME 7.3 Server running as a proxy.
It current configuration
-Server Gateway mode
-eth0 192.168.1.8
-eth1 connected to DSL Modem
-with Dansguardian Installed

which has a vpn modem which IP is 192.168.1.1

Users at the remote office can access the internet without any problem.
Both servers can ping each other.

When I try to ping any site from the server all I get :
PING login.yahoo.akadns.net (66.163.169.186) 56(84) bytes of data.
From 10.0.66.49 icmp_seq=0 Destination Host Unreachable
From 10.0.66.49 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable
From 10.0.66.49 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable


I would like to ask if yum update should work in this setup?


Thanks

I would configure yum to go through a proxy server, in the yum.conf file add in http_proxy=proxy:portnum then do export http_proxy and you should be good to go.
