To reach that mirror you have to assure that:
1. You can resolve hostnames
Look in /etc/resolv.conf for a valid nameserver;
2. You should verify you can open a http connection
Try to use netcat: nc -v 209.132.176.120 80, if you get
"Connection to 209.85.171.100 80 port [tcp/http] succeeded!" so you are
able to connect to the internet.
That error message says it cannot resolve host
download.fedoraproject.org. Try to resolve for it, using
209.132.176.120 instead. Otherwise add "nameserver 208.67.222.222" line
at the beginning of /etc/resolv.conf file.
Hope this will help.
Thanks for trying to help. I can reach the Internet on other sites. I can
use konqueror to reach a mirror site and download packages manually.
This box has been upgraded rather than a clean install. I suspect that
$releasever is not being correctly passed, but I don't know how to test that
theory, nor how to correct it if I'm right.
