YUM does not work, will not resolve URLs only raw IP addresses it will ping...

[xt0x1]

I am running Cent os 6.5 x64 and It seems as though when I try install anything with YUM or downloading any cross-compilers uclibc.org it will not work...I have a feeling there is something wrong in my configuration, I have my own DNS nameservers, but i do not know how to check them or how to change them. Any help would be greatly appreciated as Ive been having problems for 3 days now with this company and even getting my server setup the right way...

Sidenote: Tehy gave me my first server and YUM worked fine, then when i tryed logging in i kept getting connection refused, so they gave me a new server ip and havent had any problems logging just I cant install and packages so i believe it is something with my DNS nameservers...not being configured right

What's in /etc/resolv.conf? That's where DNS servers are configured - you can try testing by using Google's public name server and adding a line above all the other "nameserver" lines that says nameserver 8.8.8.8

Once you get that working you really need to run a full yum update as 6.5 is over 3 years old and has numerous unpatched high severity security vulnerabilities. The current 6.x version is 6.8 plus assorted patches released since that came out.
