2) Even I was unable to use YUM , it gives following error

[root@kwi-11156f06184 ~]# yum install tftp-server
Loading "priorities" plugin
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://ayo.freshrpms.net/fedora/linu...rors-freshrpms error was
[Errno 4] IOError: <urlopen error (110, 'Connection timed out')>
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: freshrpms. Please verify its path and try again
[root@kwi-11156f06184 ~]#

so please suggest me regarding this so i could repair my add/remove software
prethanks to helper

It's been a while for me, since I've used Fedora, but I think it's in /etc/yum, there's a conf file where the freshrpms repository was added. Try commenting it out and seeing if it all works then.
