Sometime ago I wrote to this list about network connection problems.
I reinstalled my fedora server and all was fine. Well I reinstall a
windows system and had to fix grub2. So I booted F38 server and this
is the error I got.

I did nothing to the system and all I tried to run was 'dnf
distro-sync' for updates. Is this grub2 related? Since it had to be
reinstalled from scratch? The system has always been there I just
cleared and reinstalled a Windows on another partition and thusly
had to reinstall a new grub2 bootloader. It boots fine.
grub is merely to get the OS loaded, it does nothing after.
You have some sort of DNS issue, either with the Fedora install or
with your network. Can you resolve any other sites?
Also, you say "no network access". Is that correct? Can you ping
your router? All you show is a DNS resolve failure, that doesn't
imply no network. Are you on wifi or ethernet? Does it show as
connected?
Wifi is what I am using. In the cli there is network errors reported if
I try to ping anything. So I booted into the gui and there was no
access. So I found my router on the wifi list of network and had to
enter my router's network password. It connect and all was fine. I could
ping anything and use the browser. Could there be a place where I can
enter the wifi router password permanently and hopefully this would work.
Look in /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/. The connection config
should have the password, so it should work now, assuming it's set to
auto-connect.
