I'm getting this on two FC4 systems but not on two other FC4 systems.
Seems to be the same problem as

This issue effectively kills yum: one can't update or install.  Doing

  yum clean all

or

  yum makecache

has no effect.  If I do

  wget -4 "http://ayo.us5.freshrpms.net/fedora/linux/4/i386/freshrpms/repodata/repomd.xml"

I get the file requested but adding 

  inet4_only = on

to /etc/wgetrc doesn't help yum.
