One very simple test is to open a web browser and point it at that
URL. In this case, your URL fails because there is no redhat/4ES
directory on that server. For starters, this is because redhat does
not make binary rpms available without purchasing RHEL, after which
they'd currently like you to use RHN. If you're trying to keep updated
because your rhel license has expired and you don't want to purchase a
new one, investigate the CentOS project. Otherwise, you'll have to use
RHN for RHEL packages (or make your own yum repo, but that's another
thread), and yum for packages from third party repositories such as
rpmforge, jpackage etc.

Using rpm -qa with the --last option and piping it through head shows
us what you did most recently.
