Perhaps you have a firewall blocking the connection to the registering server?

Read the "README" or "INSTALL" files in the source directory. A typical compile would be like..
./configure
make
make install (as root)

Those are commands, run them in the source directory of mplayer after you extract it.

If you are having SSL connection issues when connecting to Red Hat Network, ensure that you are using the latest versions of up2date and rhn_register.

Is your computer connected directly too the internet?
Anyways, try typing in (as root) 'service iptables stop' in a shell. Then try it again and see what happens.
Why don't you also post your iptables file. It should be /etc/sysconfig/iptables.
Cheers,
