yum giving error "[Errno 111]" Connection refused on RHEL

I am on RHEL server 7*. When I use yum (any command even help) I get this line every time.

 [Errno 111] Connection refused

Things work, but lines like this keep coming.

if you're behind a proxy, edit /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf to reflect your proxy congratulation

e.g.

# an http proxy server to use (enter server FQDN)
proxy_hostname = my.proxy.com
# port for http proxy server
proxy_port = 3120
# user name for authenticating to an http proxy, if needed
proxy_user = username
# password for basic http proxy auth, if needed
proxy_password = password

see /var/log/rhsm/rhsm.log if you want to see what's going on yum commands
