[Wiki] Git Timing out during clone / push operations

[antz]

I recently hit a problem where I was getting a Time Out error when pushing updates and sometimes when clone repo's.

After loads of research I found the solution (for windows anyway)...

Here's what to do:-

1) Open a command prompt with admin priviledges

2) Type

tracert git.com

I got the response...

Tracing route to git.com [75.101.142.70]

- remember that number

3) Type

ipconfig

I got the response...

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.10.254

- remember that number too

4) Type

route add [number from step 2] [number from step 3]

i.e.

route add 75.101.142.70 192.168.10.254

This has resolved the timeout issues for me
