Stuck on Centos Yum update

[fgaughan]

Been a fedora user for years till i switched to Centos 4

Everything went well in the installs and now i have a Centos 4 server but one little problem and its driving me mad!
When i first installed fedora then i type yum update it updates no problem
But not Centos i get the following error
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: update

Can you try the update again? Maybe it was a temporary problem. Also make sure you have valid name servers in /etc/resolv.conf.

Thanks for reply

Update still wont work.

looked at the /etc/resolv.conf should the ip address be the same as i logged into the server box? or should it be the fixed ip address given to my by my isp? I was given 2 ip addresses

Use the IP addresses of your ISP.
What's in /etc/resolv.conf now?

Sorted it out now.. What i did was a usr/sbin/netconfig set it to Use dynamic ip configuration
i checked the /etc/resolv.conf did some thinking
Then back to usr/sbin/netconfig and put my fixed ip addess and worked it out from there

And now i am happy updating :-)
