You should be able to open the above header.info file in your browser from that machine ... can you?
Also, wget or links could be tried if running on a text install.
It seems your network card is not working or you can't resolve the name mirror.centos.org. I just checked and that is the correct path and file name for update.
Or your firewall is blocking http access, default gateway isn't set, there are a number of possibilities.
