Here’s the error without the XMLRPC:

[root at hostname  rhn]# yum install xclock
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, rhnplugin, security
There was an error communicating with RHN.
Red Hat Satellite or RHN Classic support will be disabled.
Error communicating with server. The message was:

If you are on rhel 5 that should work, if not take the XMLRPC off of the url and see if it works...

What does your /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date file say on the client...also what release?

I recently setup proxy servers and got them functional and registered properly through Spacewalk.  I can now use the proxy servers to register the clients in the respective datacenter, however when I try to install with yum, it fails.  Is there something I need to do to the proxy servers so they start handing out packages that are in the repos on the master?

Here’s the error on the client:
