I'm using FC5 and trying to use the Add Remove Software function (pirut) but I keep getting the Unable to Retrieve Software Information from the application. I know I have a network connection as I'm using the computer to write this message. Also the Add Remove Software feature worked once about two days ago. Also at which time I was able to use the Software Updater. Has anyone found the problem with this? Is it just a overwhelmed server?
I would like to get my DVD player working and found several articles to getting it working. Some included the following:

Because I wanted to make sure that this would not stop me from using the Add Remove Software feature in the future.
Any suggetions?
