This is what happened:

yum clean all
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto
Cleaning repos: base extras updates
Cleaning up Everything
Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors
8 delta-package files removed, by presto


yum provides ntpd
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os error was
12: Timeout on http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os: (28, 'connect() timed out!')
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base

What next?

Actually, I think I have a firewall issue.  I googled the error and someone suggest trying:

curl 'http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=i386&repo=os' <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=i386&repo=os'>

So I tried that on my 6.4 virtualbox and it worked.  I tried it on the esxi vm and it timed out.

Thanks,
