I've had issues connecting to RHN on FC/1, usually because the redhat
servers are choked.  I'm guessing FC/2 has the same problem. Find a
mirror from http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html and replace
the addresses in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/sources.  I've had to do this on all
the FC installs I've done.  I usually use ftp.linux.ncsu.edu which gets
me 300+KB/s d/l from my RoadRunner account.
