I get the typical errors everybody complains about "no repomd" and "metalink.xml does not exist".  Common workarounds from google searches haven't worked.

Nothing.  F18 was EOL a long time ago.  Updates via yum aren't available.

If you need something from the last time things were updated you need to find them and download them manually from http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/updates/18/x86_64/  and you'll need to resolve the dependencies yourself.  (Insert the normal advice about running old, outdated, and not security patched software here)
