I have two machines. One is static IP (#1) running FC3 and another machine that is using DHCP (#2) running FC5. Machine #1 can't update via Yum, but machine #2 can. Here is the error.

Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates-released
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: updates-released

I found some things online.

This guy thinks it might be be my /etc/resolv.conf. However $ host fedora.redhat.com gives the same thing on both machines.

Quote:

# host fedora.redhat.com
fedora.redhat.com has address 209.132.177.50
fedora.redhat.com mail is handled by 10 mx1.redhat.com.
fedora.redhat.com mail is handled by 20 mx2.redhat.com.
fedora.redhat.com mail is handled by 30 mx3.redhat.com.

So I started searching your forums for past threads. I thought upgrading Yum might fix the problem.

Code:

# rpm -qa | grep yum

  yum-2.4.1-1.fc4

# wget http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/5/i386/yum-2.6.1-0.fc5.noarch.rpm

# rpm -e yum

# rpm -i yum-2.6.1-0.fc5.noarch.rpm

Everything installed fine. It is showing the most current version is installed. I restarted networking after this just to be sure.

# service network restart

After all that, it is still not working. I get the same error. I don't want to install FC5 unless I have too and it is looking like I am going to have to. =(. Advice?

Also my 2nd question is if enabling other repositories, like from RPMforge is a good thing? Will it cause problems?
