Varoon,

Your problem is related to the fact that the repository its trying to connect to either doesn't exist or you have some network problem. Check in /etc/yum.repos.d and find the url you see above (it will be similar but not exact) and try loading it in a web page. If it doesn't work, you'll need to fix the url to where it goes.

I don't know the exact fix you need, but it is related to connecting to the url you're specifying. Its possible to disable the repository. use yum --help for info on that.

Cheers,

Clint
