Git fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out)

[cha...@pinteq.co.za]

Hi There,

I am trying to setup my local repo for Android.

I am behind a proxy, which is un-authenticated run on Clear OS. We
have opened the required port for git on our Clear OS box.

Here is the problem:

chadley@JHB-WILSONCUBUNTU:~/mydroid$ repo init -u
git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
Getting repo ...
from git://android.git.kernel.org/tools/repo.git
android.git.kernel.org[0: 130.239.17.12]: errno=Connection timed out
android.git.kernel.org[0: 199.6.1.176]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out) chadley@JHB-
WILSONCUBUNTU:~/mydroid$



My Distro is Ubuntu 10.04 LTS lucid etc... I have followed the
documentation to the letter and this is where I am stuck.

How does I use Git via the proxy? There is Zero chance in a million
years that I will be allowed to connect directly to the router as the
are over 700 users using the line here.

Would anyone beable to assist me with some suggestions on how to
figure out what is going wrong? I have tried looking for log files and
monitoring ports. I can't find any valid reason why it should not
work.
Yet if I go to the website the site is responding nicely.

Regards

Chadley

I suppose no-one has ever solved this problem before! :( I am aware it
has something to do with the proxy. But is there no small possibility
that someone here can give me a heads up that is not related to the
port.
Obviously Git uses higher ports on the return traffic. Maybe I need to
know which ports to open. Is it possible that another protocol like
skype is blocking UDP requests.
I can't figure it out on my own Guys. I need support from a community.

Which list should I use for solving proxy related issues?

Hi,
I had this problem in the past and I still have it when I use a 3G usb
modem connection, When I got an ADSL internet connection the problem
disappeared. I ll be really interested in understanding what is
failing too.

[amol verule]

may be issue in netprovider ..
if 9418/tcp port is open then it should work..

That is Hardware/Software Firewall rule configuration problem.
i to was having same problem even by keeping port open at proxy server & hardware firewall ,i was not able to use git. after doing changes in firewall rules by administrator it worked.

Sorry for replying directly to you,

For some reason I can't post from my outlook. My post gets rejected by the server.
What do mean by net provider? As in the company that provides us with internet?

Do I need to have the port open on both incoming and outgoing?
We have already had incoming and outgoing opened and on top of that we also added rules for TCP and UDP.
Still no joy?
