    When I try to connect to Live Update, I get an error message:

    Could not connect to update server. Please check your network environment as follows:
    1. Check if the network cable is properly inserted.
    2. Check your network status.

    I've tried using both wireless and wired connection but I still get the same error. But I'm still able to browse the Internet and use the Fedora Package manager.

    Any ideas?

    This problem is due to some bug in the live updater, which misunderstands cached downloaded update-files as the update server not working. The solution i found to this problem was to basicly clear the live update cache.
    To do this, use the following commands (on your own risk)

    Code:
    cd /var/cache/online-updater
    sudo rm ./*
    And then run the live update again.
    I believe this problem is caused by abruptly quitting the live updater, but at least there is a solution, so no worries ;)

    I have the same problemas the OP. I cleared the Online Updater cache as instructed by implodekalle, but that did not fix my problem. Anything else I can try?
