You should first check your network connection. In a terminal windows check the output of

$ ip a

It should list at least one interface with an ip, something like

2: enp0s31f6: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 90:1b:0e:fc:ee:d2 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 78.46.93.154/27 brd 78.46.93.159 scope global noprefixroute enp0s31f6
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 2a01:4f8:120:7142::2/128 scope global noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::921b:eff:fefc:eed2/64 scope link noprefixroute 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Important is the  ip and the „state UP“


If you have an ip, check your dns, e.g.

$ host fedora project.org

It should respond like

fedoraproject.org has address 152.19.134.142
fedoraproject.org has address 209.132.190.2
fedoraproject.org has address 38.145.60.21
fedoraproject.org has address 185.141.165.254
… 
fedoraproject.org has IPv6 address 2600:2701:4000:5211:dead:beef:fe:fed3
fedoraproject.org has IPv6 address 2a05:d01c:c6a:cc01:269:da52:9ae1:43e6


Then check if your routing works:

$ ping  152.19.134.142 

or, it you are IPV6 only

$ ping6 2600:2701:4000:5211:dead:beef:fe:fed3 


Use <crtl>c to interrupt the listing.


Given your difficulties, one of the steps above should not work on your system.
