Do you mean at redhat? The channel shows as 'Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (v.3 for x86)' when I run rhn_check I get ...

Have you reinstalled this system since you initially registered it? If so, you will need to re-register. Remove the entry on RHN, then run rhn_register to do this.
No, it has not been reinstalled. This is the OS shipped on the system.
Have you ever been able to up2date the system with the initial settings? If not, you would probably be best off to remove the entry and run rhn_register anyway. It's possible that something got messed up or confused during the initial registration.
Closing due to lack of reply in many months.
