Dear Widgwt,
Mostly the PC you are talking about is not your home PC right?It is your office PC i guess.
In the case are behind a firewall which is preventing you updating yum.
In this case changing configuration of your system's repository information will also you.
Contact your system administrator who will allow you to get through your firewall.

It has worked in the last 2 days. and nothing has been changed on the configuration.

Then please mark your thread as solved

[Widgwt]

It isnt solved. what i meant to say is that the firewall is not blocking my connection out from the server. nothing has been changed on the firewall or other hardware. but i still get the same error.

Dear Widgwt,
Nothing has to be changed in your firewall for not to work yum update.
By default no firewall allows you to update using yum(as far i know)
Your firewall configurations need to be changed so that it allow yum to update your system.

Please post

cat /etc/resolv.conf
cat /etc/yum.conf

If possible, as much as you get (probably not a lot) with

yum repolist

Try running yum with plugins disabled. For example.

yum --noplugins repolist
yum --noplugins check-update

See if that changes anything. Try commenting out the mirrorlist line in /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and remove the comment from the baseurl line so your file looks like this. See if that changes anything.

[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
failovermethod=priority
baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
#mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch

As an experiment, turn the firewall off completely and test yum functionality.

Thank you

I will give that a try.
