OK, I manually configured the IPs of my ISP's DNS servers instead of
using my router to provide DNS and now Firefox works. But still no
luck with yum, just gives the same error. Any ideas anyone?????

First, test your DNS is working with the hostname for the fedora-updates
host in particular:

host download.fedora.redhat.com

You should see:

download.fedora.redhat.com has address 209.132.176.20
download.fedora.redhat.com has address 209.132.176.220
download.fedora.redhat.com has address 209.132.176.221
download.fedora.redhat.com has address 66.187.224.20


Check your /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo to verify that
the "baseurl" entry is ok (not commented out with a "#", the
URL is valid --> test by pasting the baseurl into firefox and
visiting it, you should see a page listing a bunch of rpm files).

the baseurl in my fedora-updates.repo file is:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/6/i386/
