Thanks for your reply. wget seems to have the same problem: ------------------------------------- [tim@mary ~]$ wget http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt --2009-07-02 11:43:31-- http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt Resolving mirrors.fedoraproject.org... 209.132.176.122 Connecting to mirrors.fedoraproject.org|209.132.176.122|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 Not Found 2009-07-02 11:43:31 ERROR 404: Not Found. ------------------------------------- Konqueror has the same problem. As you say, there is obviously something seriously amiss with my setup. I've tried wget on 3 different computers (2 laptops and a desktop), running Fedora-11, Fedora-10 and CentOS-5.3, and I get the same response. But this is really weird (to me): I do get the file under Windows XP, with both Internet Explorer and Firefox, on the same laptop. So it is just a failure under Fedora/CentOS. In all cases (Linux and Windows) the connection to the internet goes through the same CentOS-5.3 machine. You mentioned "filtering". That certainly sounds like a plausible explanation. But where could I be filtering these connections? I've actually had this problem for some time, so I have had to use the baseurl in fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo rather than the mirrorlist. On the other hand, I just installed Fedora-11 on one laptop yesterday (from the KDE Live CD) and have made no modifications, though my home directory remains the same. As always, any enlightenment gratefully received. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinit College Dublin -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
