I copied the eight rpmfusion files out of /etc/yum.repos.d of a working FC15 computer and put them back into /etc/yum.repos.d of this FC15 computer and run Yumex and I still get the same error message;

Cannot retrieve repository Metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:
> rpmfusion-free , Please verify it's path and try again.

try this
and say YES to importing the hash keys

from WHERE did you get the idea to try "localinstall" and DOWNLOADING from the web ( a NOT LOCALINSTALL ) at the same time
and
run " -nogpgcheck" in the mix ( very bad)
not a good idea !

John, the instructions from rpmfusion use localinstall and nogpgcheck.

mickeyboa, a DNS issue perhaps? Is /etc/resolv.conf populated with the correct servers?

This Box is connected to a 2WIRE783 AT&T router to the WAN internet ;

resolv.conf

domain gateway 2wire.net
search gateway 2Wire.net
nameserver 172.16.0.1


The 172.16.0.1 is gateway IP to router. Shouldn't that be
someting like 70.225.136.56 which is the IP address for the router on the internet.

And I don't understand 2wire.net.
Network Manager is generating the resolv.conf

Backup the file and then try using Google's DNS servers ( http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/ )
See if it makes a difference for you.

Wouldn't 2wire net be your ISP?

2wire is the name of the router.

See if you're able to ping download1.rpmfusion.org. If so, the issue solved.

NO!! I take that back !!

2Wire.net is the website of the manufacture of the router.
Networkmanager got that from the Router, a bad setting. This probably is where my problem is. It is using that website as a DNS server and that is not right.

If I enter the correct DNS nameservers in resolv.conf NetworkManager is just going to change them.

If you enter the correct DNS nameservers in resolv.conf do things begin working correctly?

I put in the resolv.conf the google, both nameserver and deleted every thing else and the problem is SOLVED.

BUT!! What happens when I reboot the computer ? does NetworkManager change the settings in resolv.conf to the old settings ?

Reboot and see what happens. If it does, you know what to do, although it's not something you want to be doing every time you boot the computer. That would be ridiculous. I wonder if it makes sense to change /etc/resolv.conf to immutable if NetworkManager insists on constantly changing the file on you. Opinions anyone? Would changing the DNS servers in the router make more sense?

Could I disable NetworkManager and enable network by systemctl command ?

If so what systemctl command would I use ?

I only have eth0 for network in this computer.

Yes. I do it all the time.

Run system-config-network-tui to make changes to network parameters. You need to choose static ip and will need to add any information that is missing like gateway, netmask, etc. You'll also need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and make sure that NM_CONTROLLED=no and ONBOOT=yes. Lastly enable and start the network service.
Finally, run ifconfig and see if it shows you an ip address for eth0.

Glennzo thanks very much for your help.

I will be going over to my friends house this saturday to fix this computer by changing the network settings if I have any more problems I get back to you.

Thanks again.

Trying to setup a static ip on a F15 box. NetworkManager has been stop and disable

I have setup the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and try to

systemctl enable network.service
systemctl start network.service

but it won't start, below is /var/log/messages ifcfg-eth0
