That's the question. Does network access work with F12 after your fresh
reinstall? And even if tools other than "curl" can access the network,
it may still be that curl needs an update before it would work.

Dubious. That's the IP address of the name server at Red Hat.
download.fedora.redhat.com is 209.132.183.67

If you're capable of editing Yum .repo files, it is possible to
go into /etc/yum.repos.d and modify fedora.repo and fedora-updates.repo

Where you see the lines

  #baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/$releasever/$basearch/
  mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=updates-released-f$releasever&arch=$basearch

You drop the leading '#' from the baseurl=... line and replace
"download.fedoraproject.org  with download.fedora.redhat.com  OR the
IP address posted above. If you then still cannot access that repo,
something's wrong with your networking.
