Additionally, you may find that up2date + rhn-register may not work without being significantly updated anyway, (and about 12 other dependencies besides). YMMV After a few alternative approaches to updating the system (eg: downloading updated up2date rpm's + dependencies) I gave up (it was only installed that day so nothing to loose) and am today downloading/installing gentoo (www.gentoo.org) (over a modem, should be interesting...)

[SLUG] RH73 RHN rhn-register fails with socket error occured: (110,'Connection timed out')
I'm installing RH73 from RH73 CDs ; when I was installing it, I only had a dial up connection, with aN ISP required proxy on 8080; I setup RHN for up2date with the proxy as required by ISP, it worked OK the machine is no longer on a dial up connection, and, no longer requires a proxy (but, I suspect, the proxy config might still be somewhere) Now that the machine has a proper IP/hostname, I wanted to re-register it with RHN, but , it fails with: rhn-register A socket error occured: (110, 'Connection timed out'), attem pt #1 A socket error occured: (110, 'Connection timed out'), attempt #2 A socket error occured: (110, 'Connection timed out'), attempt #3 A socket error occured: (110, 'Connection timed out'), attempt #4 / between elements | selects | next screen eventually, it comes back with: Red Hat Network Registration (c) 2000-2001 Red Hat, Inc. ÚÄÄÄ´ Fatal Error ÃÄÄÄ¿ ³ ³ ³ Connection timed out³ ³ Ú¿³ ³ ³ OK ³³ ³ ÀÙ³ ÀÄÙ any ideas how to clear that..?
