I have an RHEL 5.4 system that's got a valid RHN entitlement, but which 
can't seem to connect with RHN:

[root@www ~]# yum list updates
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin
There was an error communicating with RHN.
RHN support will be disabled.
Error communicating with server. The message was:
timed out

[takes about five minutes to time out]

Our other systems don't have any trouble connecting, just this one. It 
is our firewall, so it's the only system on the "outside" network; 
internal connections come via NAT through the firewall. I've recycled 
both rhnsd and yum-updatesd, w/o results.

Ideas?
