From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040803 Firefox/0.9.3 Description of problem: I have installed Fedora Core 3 test 1 on an athlon server machine today, on my uni campus. It installed ok, detected all network hardware and recieved both ipv6 and ipv4 address by dhcp, and I was browsing using mozilla normally. I then changed the yum.conf file to pull from the local yum repository mirror on campus. Then, I ran 'yum update' as usual and updated all package to the latest version, and no errors or problems. The mirror people say they sync their repository very early every morning. I rebooted, again no errors. However dns addresses fail to resolve, such as I type 'ping google.com' and it replies ping: unknown host google.com However the system and network connection function perfectly, I am logged in over ssh to it right now. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install fedora core 3 test 1 2. run 'yum update', say 'y' 3. reboot 4. 'ping google.com' Actual Results: ping: unknown host google.com worked previously before 'yum update' Expected Results: dns resolved Additional info: I will post /var/log/yum.log in a sec
Created attachment 103052 [details] the offending yum update please ask if more info is needed, I can post more.
this is more likely dhcp
