up2date (more accurately, the yum/apt portion of up2date) has issues with
proxies.  Try the suggestions here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=102272

You might also want to try yum instead.  Just set the http_proxy variable:

$ export http_proxy=http://username:password@myproxy:port
