question - do you have yum installed???
yum can be installed from an rpm.
if you do, yum localinstall packagename should work
But it gives some error warnings n messeges...than ur system is not registered with RHN
RHN support will be disabled
No match for argument netconfig
nothing to do

so suggest me something
question is - what files are in the repo you created?
i assume you have the RH installation disks right???
this should at least be one of your repos??
you can check in /etc/yum.repos.d/
one of the repo files there should be pointing to the cd...
either way, this yum package must be on the cd..??? i dont really know how the RHN thing works.....as im using centos, maybe a RH user can answer this for you??
main thing to remember is that the repo file path /var/ftp/pub/my-repository must consist of a repository layout with files etc otherwise it would never work.
best thing is forget this repo thing and just install your packages off the install cd...
Man if I try to install netconfig utility in shows dependencies....with two more packages libnewt.so.0.50 and libslang.so.1 so m nt able to install that using CD....thats y problem is more complecated

ok..hang on..will find where those dependencies belong
why do you need netconfig anyway?? tell me what you need to do and i will tell you how
Iagree with knudfl, use system-config-network (or from GUI: System -> Administration -> Network), and follow this guide to set up your ADSL Modem.
Yum without network is giving you error mostlikely because other repo files are still in /etc/yum.repos.d/ folder. Move them in subfolder like "backup" (create subfolder with command "mkdir /etc/yum.repos.d/backup") and then try again.
When you fix your internet connection issue, be sure to move your repo file to backup subfolder and original repo files back to main folder to restore internet based yum.
