Hi Wes: It seems like rhn_register isn't able to make a proper connection to our servers. Are you behind a firewall? Also, can you confirm that your serverURL in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date is set to serverURL=https://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC
We are not behind a firewall, but we are behind something called websense -- I found a workaround which you have to be on the virtual terminal login to rhn.redhat.com with my windows credentials and then i am able to register the machine. You may close this.
