I realized I am using Fedora in VMworkstation, so Fedora is not connected to internet.
how can I make Fedora connect to internet going through mylaptop (windows 7)

try this

yum clean all

yum info kernel

or this

yum clean all
rm -f /var/lib/rpm/__db*
rpm --rebuilddb

then try your install again

I tried that, but when I try to install i will give me the same errors. I wonder if I have to be connected to internet or not

Yes you must be connected to the internet for yum to work unless you have your yum configured to point to a local repository. By default it use the internet.
