Fwd: Yum Update error. Is the mirror down?

[niji ogunbameru]

Dear Sir / Madam
Each tile I try to run yum update, The following error is been generated.
yum update
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
Could not retrieve mirrorlist 
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=i386 error was
[Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Error: Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: epel

Is this a sign of possible issue with the mirror site.

Yum Update error. Is the mirror down?

[Matt Domsch]

What is your IP address?

You have something quite weird going on here.  You're failing long before you even hit any fedoraproject.org server.
It appears you have a squid-like proxy server set (likely in your environment), which responds at address 192.168.12.42.  However, see the "bad request" messages coming from it.  If I had to guess, I would say that your http_proxy environment variable is messed up.

Try with:
# unset http_proxy
# wget -S -O -  'http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=epel-5&arch=i386'

Also, your proxy server's URL is quite odd, using Unicode characters (character "FIGURE DASH") followed by letter s, or o.  That's the %E2%80%93 part.
