If you are connected through proxy your update won't work. you need to add proxy settings.

My 'fedora.repo' file and 'fedora-updates.repo' as follows. Take a backup of these two files and replaced it with mine and try.

yum.repos.d]# vi fedora.repo

Hey Pavan,
What is the necessity of entering IP addresses in /etc/hosts file? You need to do that when there is DNS resolution failure. Remove those entries from ur /etc/hosts file. Is your system connected directly to Broad band cable, more over it also depends on speed of your net. What is the speed and are you able to do browsing through the browser? You are using that PC at home or office? If at office, are you people using proxy?

for yum update o/p is

You need to setup your prxy parameters in terminal bcoz yum is running from your shell. Inorder to tell the sell(bash/sh/ksh..) you need to set envornment variable http_proxy. Follwoing command you should run from you shell and after try yum.

export http_proxy="http://<ip address>:<proxy port>. Following is an example.
export http_proxy="http://192.168.100.2: 8080"

If you add to your this thing in your bash profile you may not need this in the future.

# vi ~/.bash_profile

export http_proxy=http://iport

One more method you can try


Method 2:

create the following files in /etc/profile.d, and then this will work in *any* shell for *any* user of the system

#proxy.sh
export http_proxy=http://host.comort/
export ftp_proxy=http://host.comort/
export no_proxy=.domain.com
export HTTP_PROXY=http://host.comort/
export FTP_PROXY=http://host.comort/
