the FC test3 (not FC3) release uses the rawhide yum repository by 
default, if I'm not mistaken. It's configured in 
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/source, and should be specified as an http repo, so 
I'd imagine it is trying to go out on port 80. Do you have access to run 
a sniffer on your machine to see what's going out?
