hi,
i installed kubuntu 9.04 and after i could not update it, i switched to ubuntu 9.04 and everything worked, then i installed fedora 11 and the same problem again ,no updates.
i connect to the internet through our college's proxy server (cyberoam)
the following settings work in ubuntu but don't in either fedora or kubuntu
resolv.conf:

when i do yum update in fedora i get:
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
i can surf net in firefox but the system doesn't seem to be identifying the proxy nameservers correctly
is this something with the network managers of fedora and kubuntu
and why if the same settings work for opensuse 11.1 and ubuntu 9.04 they don't work for fedora?
i want to use fedora and i am unable to get a solution anywhere, plz help
