These look like network issues to me. Exact error messages would help.

What do you mean by "sources"?  Are you using Debian terminology for
repositories?  If yes, then "/etc/yum.repos.d/" is indeed the right
place.

If it is indeed a repo mirror problem, the output of the following
should help.

$ yum repolist

Check if you the "baseurl" line is commented out in the enabled repo
files in /etc/yum.repos.d/.  For more info you can look at
`man yum.conf'.
