Right. Computer asks server for address & it's done by automatic lease. The state of the play at the moment is the network problem still occurs. I restored (via Clonezilla) from a known good backup that was taken before all this nonsense started & the box is still doing it. So, to make sure it wasn't a hardware problem, I spun up a VM & installed Ubuntu 13.04. It has no such problems & apt-get functions normally. When using yum update, curl is the culprit, throwing error after error: 'Could not get metalink https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f17&arch=x86_64 error was 14: curl#6 - "Could not resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org; Name or service not known"' Anybody know anything about curl under these circumstances? Is it a certificate problem? Curl is installed via the repos so it's nothing out of the ordinary. Any help appreciated, Cheers, Phil... -- currently (ab)using CentOS 5.9 & 6.4, Debian Squeeze & Wheezy, Fedora Beefy, Spherical & That Damn Cat, Lubuntu 12.10, OS X Snow Leopard & Ubuntu Precise, Quantal & Raring GnuPG Key : http://www.horse-latitudes.co.uk/publickey.asc -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
