This post is 10 months old. Please try to avoid dragging up dormant questions, it gets very confusing.

Don't you need to register your system to Red Hat and have valid subscription? Btw if you don't have those things its ok you are having legal system because rhel is free upgrades and support are paid. If you want to have repositories add fedora EPEL repositories.

Sorry, no. The error was because of the system not being registered with Red Hat, and the local/internal mirrors not being available. Please read and follow the discussion before posting, as advice like this is misleading.

While it's true that firewall issues *CAN* be a cause, there was nothing in this thread that indicated that. Also, this thread was already closed for almost a year before you posted to it.
