We're going to talk to our network admin. I agree it looks like its our proxy server. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I reinstalled the OS and registered. I ran 'yum update' and then installed two packages (epel-release-6-5.noarch.rpm rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el6.rf.x86_64.rpm).
I did not set any proxies.
I then disabled this mirror site in: /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmforge.repo (by setting enabled to 0)
baseurl = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/$basearch/rpmforge
mirrorlist = http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el6/en/mirrors-rpmforge
#mirrorlist = file:///etc/yum.repos.d/mirrors-rpmforge
enabled = 0
Then ran fullinstall andgot another error:
Running './0-yum'...

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I went ahead and installed the following package: yum install perl-Net-SMTP-TLS*

That installed and I started the fullinstall again. It's running, but has stopped at 'Downloading Packages'.........I'm hoping its taking awhile to just download.

[rsanclim]

installation completed successfully. Thank you all for your help.
