What does the "host mirrors.fedoraproject.org" command return for you?
Thanks for the reply: ----------------------- [tim@helen ~]$ host mirrors.fedoraproject.org mirrors.fedoraproject.org is an alias for wildcard.fedoraproject.org. wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 66.35.62.166 wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 80.239.156.215 wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 152.46.7.222 wildcard.fedoraproject.org has address 209.132.176.120 -----------------------
Incidentally, I forgot to mention that I can get the mirrorlist without difficulty from my laptop under Windows (Internet Explorer), using the same CentOS server.
I shall run wireshark on my server, and see how the requests differ.
