This is what exactly happened when I tried to update after fresh fedora 10 and later found out that my subnetmask is reset to 192.168.1.1. (especially if you used system-config-network tools). Anyway check your /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 (or other cards) to see something is wrong there. Probably it has nothing to do with yum or repos Hope this helps -- ======================= Registered Linux User #460714 Currently Using Fedora 8, 10 ======================= -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
