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
"host" seems to return the right IPs, but:
[tim@helen ~]$ wget http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist --14:43:39-- http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist Resolving mirrors.fedoraproject.org... 209.132.176.122
"wget" is resolving it to the wrong IP... (???)
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?
