The proxy handling of the registration in openSUSE 11.1 seems to contain a bug
that was fixed later for SLE11 [1] and also trunk [2] but after the release of
openSUSE 11.1. The proxy settings are read but passed to suseRegister (the tool
that communicates with the registration server) too late.

It is paradox to offer an online update for this, as the aim of the
registration module on openSUSE only is, to setup an update source in case you
don't have one, because you deleted it. But if you don't have an update source
then how should an online update be deployed?
So, unfortunately I must say that it is hard fix this :-/
If it is just for one machine I'd recommend to use "Software
Repositories"->"Add"->"Community Repos" and select the update repo or to add
the default update repo [3] manually.

If you need the functionality to register lots of machines that way then I can
provide a fixed yast2-registration via a build service project. You could add
this package as an Add-On product or include is as a driverupdate during
installation.
I will close this bug as WONTFIX for now as I can not see any sense in fixing
that kind of bug via an online update. But please feel free to reopen the bug
to request an updated package for 11.1 via the build service.
