Re: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates

Hi all,

I have installed Fedora Core 6 and love it! However, I have 1 problem
with is a pretty big one for me.

I can use the internet fine with Konqueror, but with Firefox I get a
timeout error. Also, when I run Add/Remove Programs, I get the error
message "Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates". It seems as
if I have DNS problems, although konqueror lets me use the web fine.

I have an ADSL connection with NAT running. My Windows XP machine
works OK so I know it is not the router nor NAT. Also, the fact that
Konqueror works with the internet suggests to me that this is a config
problem. Any ideas? I have searched these groups but as of yet, I
have not found a solution.

TIA,
Hugh

Had the same problem, I believe it happened after an update. In /etc/yum.repos.d, when I edited the .repo files I found that the URLs for even the standard repos had all been commented out. I just manually un-commented them and everyting worked again.

Hope this helps,
