Thanks Mark.
I have gone through those links and I have already activated the Key on RHN website.
I want to know the configurations required on my Linux machine to connect with Red Hat Network.
I am able to access the Internet from my Linux machine. Tried running the command rhn_register but got a
Fatal error: We can’t contact Red Hat Network server. Double check the location provided –is ‘http://xmlrpc.rhn.redhat.com/XMLRPC’ correct? If not, you can correct it and try again.
Tried updating the file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/up2date with serverURL, proxyPassword, ProxyUser parameters which I used for my internet connection on Linux machine. But still I am getting the same error.
Please help me.
