Sorry, I should have said that my server is running Centos-5.3.
If there is a problem on my system, it is at the server.
I ran wget on the server, and got the same result.
I also get the same result for EPEL:
---------------------------------
[tim at helen ~]$ sudo yum update
Loaded plugins: downloadonly, fastestmirror, priorities,
protect-packages, 
protectbase
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Could not retrieve mirrorlist 
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=x86_64
error 
was
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: epel
---------------------------------
using the mirrorlist line in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo :
mirrorlist=http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=$basearchkk

Also wget fails similarly:
---------------------------------
[tim at helen ~]$ wget http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist
--14:43:39-- http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist

This machine is running x86_64 CentOS:
