What about the other thing he asked you to do:

wget
"http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=6&arch=x86_64&repo=os&infra=stock";

Or even:

nslookup mirrorlist.centos.org

This sounds like you can not connect to the mirrorlist server or maybe
you have a local dns name or an /etc/hosts entry that points to the
wrong place.
