CentOS - Jun 2007 - Unable to access mirrors

Just did a fresh install of CentOS 5 x86_64 on a vmware virtual box. Have
done this successfully in the past but now run into problems with yum and
perl CPAN.
The error I get:
http://centos.arcticnetwork.ca/5.0/os/x86_64/repodata/primary.xml.gz: [Errno
12] Timeout: <urlopen error timed out>
Trying other mirror.

continues until it runs out of mirrors.

I'm able to access everything, ie: ping google.com lynx google.com is fine.

I've tried halting iptables (I'm behind router) all to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you set up DNS entries during the install?
Or did you install caching nameserver and not start it?
