FC3 is EOL (it doesn't exist any more) and so there are no packages available for it, no yum mirrors, nada. You need to install an OS that is still supported, like F8 (if you're using a home computer and don't mind upgrading the OS every 12 months), or CentOS (if you're using a server and want to keep the OS for some time).

Get the packages needed from these mirrors ( F3 is antique )
