repo installation - Connection Timed out error

[GnuHash]

Hi
I am using Ubuntu 8.10. Followed the steps given in
http://source.android.com/download.
But am getting 'Connection Timed out' error on executing the repo init
command.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
android@android-laptop:~/mydroid$ ~/bin/repo init -u
git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
Getting repo ...
from git://android.kernel.org/tools/repo.git

Hi Jeff

Thank you for your reply. It was a firewall issue. It works
