I am using Cent OS 6.4 in a corporate lab and the yum update fails with the below error:
I am able to access the same repositories through browser.
[root@LAB1 ~]# yum update Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, security base | 3.7 kB 00:00 http://centosmirror.go4hosting.in/centos/6.4/os/x86_64/repodata/1e584feac3f3fb76ad4b6fb7e1bc8d44fa124814e9d186dc913ded3c63a216b3-primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 12] Timeout on http://centosmirror.go4hosting.in/centos/6.4/os/x86_64/repodata/1e584feac3f3fb76ad4b6fb7e1bc8d44fa124814e9d186dc913ded3c63a216b3-primary.sqlite.bz2: (28, 'Operation too slow.

Below is what I have in /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
[base] name=CentOS-$releasever - Base mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os #baseurl=http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/os/$basearch/ gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-CentOS-6 #released updates [updates] name=CentOS-$releasever - Updates
here is what I have in /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager search xxx.xxx nameserver 192.168.1.3
yum.conf file:

I am able to ping the above nameserver. And I have tried the yum update after running yum clean all but with same result.
I am able to wget/curl the same link and it connects and downloads. I also tried _yum update_ right after which again failed with the same error. Here is the output:

Sometimes I am also getting the below error on some of the mirrors:
http://centos.aol.in/6.4/os/x86_64/repodata/1e584feac3f3fb76ad4b6fb7e1bc8d44fa124814e9d186dc913ded3c63a216b3-primary.sqlite.bz2: [Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 6 - "Couldn't resolve host 'centos.aol.in'" Trying other mirror.
As I am new to Linux and networking, any help here is much appreciated.
