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/

All the above works OK. As I said, Firefox works sometimes but other
times not. I even added all the mirrors to the local hosts file but
this still did not make YUM work. I found a thread on google
mentioning that it might be a problem with how Python resolves DNS
names, however I don't see how this would affect Firefox (unless it is
written in Python).
When I had FC1 on the laptop I had no problems, but FC6 refuses to go.
This is driving me nuts as it is the only thing not working! I am
tempted to reinstall FC6 in case something got messed up during install
but i'd prefer to fix it rather than just wipe and hope it solves
itself.
Any ideas?
