Now I see you were actually connected - my mistake of not understanding it initially, thus the inappropriate proxy/internet comments ... sorry :)
Other options may be: incorrect/incomplete syntax for urpmi (usually missing or using incorrectly with ./bla/bla.cz, etc.). Someone may have already posted these as "helpers" for getting you the proper syntax, but here we go again, just in case you have not seen them yet: http://nanardon.homelinux.org/urpmi.setup/ and http://www.zarb.org/~nanardon/ One more possibility - I ran into that problem, also, myself: incorrect or outdated source site - try to change it. One time I had to "visit manually" (i.e. ftp to those directories) myself the sites I was trying to use as sources, to make sure the .cz files and everything else was there. I just had a recent experience with a site in Germany which did not have everything correctly, changed to a French site, and everything started working again. And one more thing - worth checking: here are the relevant entries in my /etc/urpmi/urpmi.cfg, as an example: update_source { hdlist: hdlist.update_source.cz with_hdlist: ../base/hdlist.cz list: list.update_source update } cooker { hdlist: hdlist.cooker.cz with_hdlist: ../base/hdlist.cz list: list.cooker } plf { hdlist: hdlist.plf.cz with_hdlist: hdlist.cz list: list.plf modified } Check /var/lib/urpmi and make sure you have the correct synthesis.hdlist.<your_source_name>.cz entries for corresponding sources. Probably removing them all via urpmi.removemedia may not be such a bad idea, after all ...
