What error message ? What does it say ?
You know that you have to update your up2date agent and key, read here the process :

You should download and install a newer version of up2date.
you can download it from:
ftp://rpmfind.net/linux/redhat/updates/9/en/os/i386/up2date-3.1.23.2-1.i386.rpm


just put the whole URL in the address..

You can always install the rpm package from the command console using,

#rpm -ivh <.rmp file name>

which king of RPM's can i choose for installation ,or how can i determine which one needed to be installed and from what site can i get these RPM's

Fadia,

got to https://rhn.redhat.com/help/latest-up2date.pxt

create a new directory on your linux system (/root/tmprpm) and download the files mentioned:
up2date-3.1.23.2-1.i386.rpm
up2date-gnome-3.1.23.2-1.i386.rpm
rhnlib-1.0-4.noarch.rpm
pyOpenSSL-0.5.1-8.i386.rpm

Go to the directory where you downloaded the files and type rpm -Uvh *.rpm

And try again your up2date agent.
