You seems to have some networking troubles leading to the problem to connect to the RHN service. Try te following command at the shell prompt, then wait for the escape message hit the return key a could of time and wait for the disconnection: --------------------------- paphio:~ -> telnet www.rhns.redhat.com 443 Trying 66.187.232.100... Connected to www.rhns.redhat.com. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. paphio:~ -> ------------------------ If you can't get to the "Escape character is..." message then check with your network administrator or ISP you have a problem connecting. If this works try to launch the applet again this may have been a temporary error. Daniel I have browse, telnet, use news, ftp with no problems, and here is the result of your test: # telnet www.rhns.redhat.com 443 ================================================================ Trying 66.187.232.100... Connected to xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com (66.187.232.100). Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. ================================================================ The problem has occurred every time that I have tried since installing 9. It worked perfectly with 8.0. It was a fresh install of 9. Does the fact that the "Enable HTTP Proxy" box is being un-ticked mean anything? "Enable HTTP Proxy" should not be activated unless your network environment requires HTTP or HTTPS connexions to go through a proxy. Ask your network administrator or your ISP about it. The up2date and applet cannot contact the server. That's the reason of the problem. I have no idea why, nor any way to reproduce your problem especially if a direct connection to the server port seems to work. Without a way to reproduce the problem or understand better what is happening in your specific case, there is no way I can guess what is happening in your case. sorry, Daniel 2 years since a reponse. Closing. |
