(???) Do you have something strange in /etc/hosts? What is your /etc/resolv.conf like? Can you try to use "curl" instead of "wget" to see if it resolves right? > $ curl http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist > # either path=, or repo= and arch= must be specified Also, use "curl -v http://..." to see to which IP you are connecting. > I shall run wireshark on my server, > and see how the requests differ. As the problem is in domain names, I would say it's either /etc/hosts or a DNS cache, so sniffing the network won't probably give you many clues... Does your Windows machine use different resolvers than your Linux machine?
