[K12OSN] 5.0 EL repos dead/outdated?

[Vi Thai]

Hello.  I tried this suggestion but it still cannot update.  The error
I am getting is:
Error: failure: 5.2/libgcj-4.1.2-42.el5.i386.rpm from k12ltsp: [Errno
256] No more mirrors to try.
Someone had suggested a firewall issue and that may be my problem.
Does anyone know which port yum uses to update?  Thanks,

Vi
