up2date is ignoring me
 

Hello,
Lately (the past few days), up2date is giving me an error (here is an entry from the update agent log),
[Tue Apr 22 21:25:43 2003] up2date A socket error occurred: ( (110, 'Connection timed out'), attempt #5
[Tue Apr 22 21:25:43 2003] up2date Error communicating with server. T The message was:Connection timed out.

I can ping locally as well as to the world
Telnet causes a syn_sent to show up on the port
tcp 0 1 xx.xx.xx.xx:34539 xx.xx.xx.xx:443 SYN_SENT

ifconfig results with

any ideas as to why telnet not working as well as up2date?

maybe u need a proxy? run 'up2date-config'.
