[SLUG] RH73 RHN rhn-register fails with socket error occured: (110,'Connection timed out')

[Voytek Eymont]

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:

eventually, it comes back with:
