Of course, other than time outs there is some other problems also. I am
pasting the /etc/yum.conf also here for ur reference:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=0
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1
plugins=1
metadata_expire=1800

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d

export http_proxy=http://172.16.1.1:3128/*
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you able to help me?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Sumesh
