Please show: 'grep /etc/resolv.conf' and '/sbin/ifconfig' 2) do you have more *.repo-files than the one, perhaps one of them contains another [core] section. Or if it is an update, perphaps you have an active entry in /etc/yum.conf? btw. i think you can comment out this line: mirrorlist=http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/i386/os its a baseurl to a repo, not a mirrorlist!
