Description of problem: I tried to install fc5 on xen using the /usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py script in the xen package. It asked me the source - I answered http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/x86_64/os/ - however then it tried to contact that site via ftp not http, and failed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): FC5 installer How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure xen to use nat networking, and firewall outgoing ftp 2. /usr/sbin/xenguest-install.py 3. Answer questions asked, giving http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/fedora/linux/core/5/x86_64/os/ as the URL Actual results: Installer tries to use FTP Expected results: Installer should use HTTP, as specified Additional info: My other xen guest domain is able to browse the web just fine.
Actually, I tried another URL, and the installer does try to use HTTP - but if that fails, it drops you into the FTP dialog box.

I was able to reproduce this issue with FC6 but am unable to with F7 test 1. Could you please try with test 1 or test 2 and let me know if this is still broken for you? I know a ton of work has gone into these network screens over the past couple releases.
