unable to connect to net
Hello,
I am using CentOS-5 .I am unable to connect to net. When i try to update using : Code:
yum update Code:
IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> |
well what do you want to fix? internet access or yum not working? Obviously if you can't reach the net, yum won't work, so I don't understand why you're telling us the yum stuff in the first place. just go through the basics, got an ip? ot a default route? can you ping the default route? got a name server? can you resolve google.com? etc....

I want to resolve internet access . I thought yum error message could give better idea about the issue.hence posted that. I can't resolve google.com. |
ok, so what about all the other things?

How do you connect ?
What is the output of ifconfig ? Is there anything in /etc/resolve.conf ? Can you ping e.g. 74.125.233.16 (google.co.za) ? |
i am guessing that this is the current CentOS 5.6 ???
if NOT then use a different machine and download it( CentOS5.6) and install that !!! if it is 5.6 you might want to read the cent and red hat network documentation Also is this a 56k dial up ? ot dsl ? or cable ? or wireless ? there is a very big difference is all of them also is this a desktop ? or laptop? not all wireless is supported by the older code in REHL6 |
