I finally just did yum update on this box (actually 6.3) and now it is 6.7. During the update it created a CentOS-Base.repo.rpmnew file. I renamed my current one and this one to just .repo and now I again get:
----
yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, presto
Setting up Update Process
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock error was
12: Timeout on http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock: (28, 'connect() timed out!')
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: base

I thought updating to 6.7 might fix something, but it didn’t help. Any ideas why it is doing this?
If I go to:
http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock <http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock>
in a browser, it shows a list of repos.
Thanks,
wes
