Description of problem: I've been struggling with the Network Manager, and temporarily used wvdial till this afternoon when Network Manager started working on its own volition. When I use eth0 (ethernet), Yum seemed to work fine. When I used wlan0 (Wireless), it worked well, but it does not seem to be working at all with ppp0 (Mobile Broadband). Initially I thought it was the "Check for updates using mobile broadband" setting on Software Update Preferences, but even after checking that, did not work. When I try do a manual Yum, this is what I get [root@localhost Downloads]# yum update Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium/fedora-15/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Couldn't connect" Trying other mirror. http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/spot/chromium-stable/fedora-15/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Couldn't connect" Trying other mirror. http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/kyle/kernel/fedora-15/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Couldn't connect" Trying other mirror. http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/kiilerix/python2.5/fedora-15/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Couldn't connect" Trying other mirror. http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/smilner/swatchbooker/fedora-15/noarch/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Couldn't connect" Trying other mirror. http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/smilner/swatchbooker/fedora-15/SRPMS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Couldn't connect" Trying other mirror. http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/hedayat/yum-fast-downloader/fedora-15/noarch/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Couldn't connect" Trying other mirror. http://repos.fedorapeople.org/repos/hedayat/yum-fast-downloader/fedora-15/SRPMS/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Couldn't connect" Trying other mirror. http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/rpm/stable/i386/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] curl#7 - "Couldn't connect" Trying other mirror.

Please verify its path and try again Now, wget seems to be working fine, but curl is not. I'm not even sure where to start. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-3.2.29-5.fc15.noarch at 2011-05-26 16:20 How reproducible: Unsure, for me, the issue came while using wvdial and NetworkManager. Trying to update or add software and I get this error. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login to Fedora 2. Connect Network (Via Mobile Broadband) 3. Open a terminal and type "yum update" Actual results: Yum does not connect, faults curl. Expected results: Update/Software Install Additional info:
Found the issue. I had set up proxy in the yum.conf file and completely forgotten about it. Solved.
