Up2date, RHN, questions / Fatal Error Comm. w/ Server ?

[Clint]

Thank you! That fixed it! Here's what I did if there are any other 
newbies like me out there:

login as root
edit the file named /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources

locate the lines that have this:

yum fedora-core-1 http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1
yum updates-released http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1
#yum updates-testing http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/testing/fedora-core-1

and then change them to look like:

yum fedora-core-1 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/i386/os/
yum updates-released 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/i386/
#yum updates-testing 
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/testing/1/i386/

Thanks again!
Clint
