Package updater fails, no network, but network is working fine

All of a sudden out of the blue for no reason I can think of my mythserver (FC6) package manager just stopped working (yum is down too) .

It says
Unable to retrieve sopftware information. This could be caused by not having a network connection available.

umm, yo, networking is working. I can ping, surf the web, access the machine from the mythfront end and VNC works.

WTF? why is it telling me networking is not working when clearly it is?
