Launch the applet. 2. It won't connect. 3. Actual Results: Error described above. Expected Results: Should connect. Additional info: Looks like its using the wrong location ? server# host www.rhns.redhat.com Host www.rhns.redhat.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL)
I got this connecting again, but not clear how I did it. It was a sequence something like this: 1. Right click the applet, but the configuration option greyed out. 2. Select run up2date as that is not greyed out. 3. For a short time the applet is no longer in error mode as it is trying to check in, it can't, but until it works that out the configuration option isn't greyed out any longer, so I selected it. 4. As I don't use a proxy there is nothing to configure so I just hit "forward" a few times and then "apply". 5. It started connecting again. I've never had it configured to use a proxy. For some reason it is as if the config file got corrupted, but I cannot imagine how.
