Thanks for the help. It was indeed a DNS problem.

The config file this is /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
How this works is that yum retrieves the file specified in the
mirrorlist
parameter (http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-3 for
FC3)
and picks out one of the URLs to use as the baseurl.
If you can't fetch
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-3
it will get the "Cannot find a valid baseurl" error.
This likely to be a symptom of a problem, rather than the problem
itself.
Try using wget to fetch the mirrorlist file:
wget http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors/fedora-core-3
That may give you more useful error messages.
Double check that your DNS is correct:
host www.google.com
host fedora.redhat.com
