    Hi all.

    I've got a brand-spanking-new install of FC2 that I'm trying to run
    up2date on. It goes through the first two urls:

    http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/fedora-core-2
    http://fedora.redhat.com/download/up2date-mirrors/updates-released-fc2

    and then sits there for a while, and finally performs what looks like a
    python stack trace, and finally says:

    urllib2.URLError: <urlopen open (110, 'Connection timed out')>

    I've searched the archives of this list, and found suggestions for
    editing the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources file and trying different
    mirrors. I have now tried 4 different mirrors, and all of them seem to
    behave the same.

    Usual questions:
    Behind a firewall? yes
    Configured valid proxy url, user, and password? yes
    Net connection working? yes - mozilla browsing works without trouble

    Any suggestions on what to try next?
