========================================= # yum update Loading "fastestmirror" plugin Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=5&arch=i386&repo=os error was [Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (111, 'Connection refused')> Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base
'Connection refused' sounds like a firewall problem to me. I have no problem accessing that URL. Try it in a browser from a different location and you should get back a list of URLs. Can you access other internet locations from this server? Once you have the connections working you might want to read http://wiki.centos.org/Manuals/ReleaseNotes/CentOS5.3 if you haven't already. I don't know if the advice to update glibc*, etc. is a requirement starting from 5.1 or not, but I'd do it that way anyway.
