Which version of rhn-applet are you running?
Are your repos http? Are they yum repos?
Aha! I was wondering about this as well, and it turns out that this was
it. I had ftp yum repos, and changing them to http caused all the "could
not contact" messages to go away. I haven't seen a red bang yet, but I
have confidence it will work now. Also, up2date repo checking seems to
work a lot faster now.
Thanks!
