Network Issue (The connection has timed out)

[MohammedShahed]

Hi,

I'm going to appear for RHCSA ceritication exam remotely in 2 days, however, facing an issue when doing the compatibility test. I tried both WIFI and wired connections but still get the following error again and again, even I tried in different laptop but the same error message appeared. I've disbale the default Windows firewall settings as well but with no luck.

The connection has timed out

An error occurred during a connection to rhie.poa.redhat.com

Yes, it's got fixed. I wasn't able to connect to the remote exam site,
however after trying multiple times I was able to connect.

Hi, I am having smilar problem, couldn't connect to the remote site to run the Comaptibility Test, I get error connecting to rhi-poa.redhat.com and the screen below. I have scheduled an exam a week from now. I am connecting via wifi, using same laptop, same USB as before when I was successful. Thank you for any tips.
