When I do a 'yum upgrade' (on F9), I get the attached result.
I looks like it's trying to connect to the Stanford network.
And indeed yesterday I was at Stanford with my laptop, and
it did try to connect to Stanford's wireless network, which is
one of those that requires a code/logon, which I don't have.

But now I'm home again, and I still get this weird error.
This is even after re-booting twice, stopping NetworkManager,
and manually bringing up eth0, which I connecting through just fine.

How do I "unstick" yum?

run:
   yum clean expire-cache

see if that fixes it up for you.

If he's using fastestmirror it may also be stuck on the prior decision to use standford right? Then it would be good to also run?
yum clean plugins

Or would fastestmirror automatically abandon a fastest it cannot get to? I've never had it stuck on an inaccessible network so I'm not sure.
