Hi all
Am trying to update my system Cento
root@king Tue Jan 27 ~ $ yum update Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Determining fastest mirrors Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=x86_64&repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure in name resolution')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
root@king Tue Jan 27 ~ $ uname -a Linux king 2.6.18-92.1.10.el5 #1 SMP Tue Aug 5 07:42:41 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Thanks
Can you surf the web ok? Is it a DNS resolution problem, 'Temporary failure in name resolution' ?
Have you tried another mirror?

no, I think the DNS issue, but i have included it in the resolv.conf

It doesn't matter if its in resolv.conf you don't seem to have a working DNS provider.
I would start there, use nslookup, can you solve anything? Check with your resolv.conf, what name server are you using, can you ping it? Try another name server?

If all else fails, then you can use opendns.com - they provide their services for free!
Cheers, AK.

I second that recommendation. I have been using OpenDns.com for about six months now. Eliminated all the problems we had, when the DNS servers at our ISP were down or slow.
it works now added the following to the profile export http_proxy="http://foo:bar@10.0.0.1:8080"
