Closing.  This is doing the right thing by throwing a timeout.  This is typically because of something going wrong in RHN Hosted and not Satellite.  However, if there is a slowness to the network, you can boost the timeout value by editing the value for:

DEFAULT_TIMEOUT

in:

/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/rhn/SSL.py

It defaults to 120, but you can raise that number to something significantly higher if you like.  Otherwise, there may be a problem in RHN Hosted that requires an email to helpdesk.
