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.
