It is pretty dificult to help out unless you post the error messages you 
are getting, as well as specifics about your current configuration.  
Taking a wild guess, I bet you are using the default FC6 
/etc/yum.repos.d/* files which attempt to contact a yum repository that 
is on the public internet.  Although, this is just a guess.  At what 
point are you running into problems?  How far have you gotten into your 
FC6 install?  Do you need to use something like cobbler, or can you just 
create a kickstart and start the installs by hand?
