a problem about "yum"


Hello,everybody! I installed Fedora 4 serveral days ago.
I have never used Fedora or someting like that before.
When I used yum to install a rpm package, but it didn't work.
It gave me these messages:
[root@luwei Desktop]# yum install RealPlayer10GOLD.rpm
Setting up Install Process
Setting up repositories
Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: at-stable
failure: repodata/repomd.xml from at-stable: [Errno 256] No more mirrors to try.

What should I do ?
Waiting for your good ideas,
Thanks!

You "don't have an internet connection in Fedora". Please could you elaborate? Do you have an internet connection at the place use this computer at all, and just need to configure Fedora to use it? If you have no internet connection at all, you will have to download the rpms you need on another computer and bring them to your Fedora install on CD or USB disk or something.
