Stripes on screen after installing Fedora

[Bjørn Ivar Johnsen]

Now I have tried i believe everything mentioned here regarding  
updating or downloading or putting in link to repository, and I get  
the same error ewrytime "Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f9&arch=x86_64 
  error was [Errno 4] [0Error: <urlopen error (-3, 'Temporary failure  
in name resolution')> Error: Cannot retrieverepository metadata  
(repomd.xml) for repository: updates. Please verify its path and try  
again"!

What am I doing wrong this time?? It seems to me as the link is all  
wrong, but since I find it in ewery place I google, and from you  
guys,  it could not be as simple as that?!


Frustrating regards now;)
