There could be many many many reasons for this. First being that the
default route (gateway) isn't set correctly. Now the problem is that if
your dns machine is on your local network it wouldn't need a gateway to
look anything up. Try adding it(route add default eth0) and if that
doesn't work give mail back. Sunsite is a pretty busy site by the way,
you might consider some other place. There's a huge list. Sunsite isn't
up right now is what I'm thinking might be the problem. Try this one,
ftp.fdt.net (209.212.128.34) with directory being
/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/redhat-5.2. I know I had a problem with
ftp installation once and I think it was because we left off the initial
/, but it might have been because we had it. So if it doesn't work, try
it with just pub/Linux/....
