How do I setup Fedora 9 Server to connect to internernet thru Virginmedia cable modem
I am trying to setup Fedora 9 Server to link to the internet thru my virginmedia cable modem.
How do I do that? I have my netwkcard setup for DHCP and I have a cable going straight into the cable modem. If I try to do yum updates I keep getting could not retrieve mirrorlist and keeps asking me to verify the path.
Well, you're skipping a few steps by trying to run yum. Can you actually browse to websites? Are you actually getting an IP Address from the modem? What do you get with an ifconfig command output?
UPDATE: I have just setup u linksys router which is working with my XP laptop so what do I need to do to get the Fedora laptop linked with wired and wireless.
could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mir...-9&arch=x86_64 error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'temporary failure in name resolutio')>
Error cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository:fedora.
Please verify its path and try again
Can you post your entire yum source list? It seems odd that you have a connection but can't use it. And how is selinux set on your system - is it at a permissive level or a higher level?
