I can only guess. Since you get a socket timeout, maybe you have a reverse routing problem (check the routing table in the firewall). Or perhaps you enabled Redhat's firewall during installation and this is blocking port 443.RHN uses port 443 (https).I ran nmap on the server and it reports that port 443 is open so this is not the problem.
What else might cause rhn_register not to work?
Hope this helps
