However Yum works as expected running > updates. i had same problems. *yumex* is seeing the network connection as disabled because it is checking for connection thru 'gui'. *yum* is seeing the network connection as enabled because it is checking for connection thru system call. the way i found problem is that i had network connection icon on task bar and yes it to open and close networking. after an update, icon stopped functioning properly. every time i right clicked and selected to enable network, an attempt was made, but immediately after, it would disconnect. even when i enabled or disabled networking from command line, problem persisted. i do not know what caused problem. with this problem and several others that cause various hang ups and other faults, i wiped f13 completely and have not reinstalled yet. my suggestion would be for you to look at your 'gui' for network connection problems, as it may well be you have same problem. you can verify this by running yum update or a yum search from command line to see what happens. i did run several more yum updates from command line, but yumex never started back working and network connection icon never started back working. i hope this gives you some direction to troubleshooting your problem. much luck. -- peace out. tc,hago. g . **** in a free world without fences, who needs gates. ** help microsoft stamp out piracy - give linux to a friend today. ** to mess up a linux box, you need to work at it. to mess up an ms windows box, you just need to *look* at it. ** learn linux: 'Rute User's Tutorial and Exposition' http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html 'The Linux Documentation Project' http://www.tldp.org/ 'LDP HOWTO-index' http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/index.html 'HowtoForge' http://howtoforge.com/ ****
