Unable to connect to the server

Hi,

I want to checkout a git package. I installed git and when I give the
command
"/root/bin/git clone
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/drzeus/mmc.git /home/Kaushalya/moreWork/git_test "
I got the result as

Initialized empty Git repository
in /home/Kaushalya/moreWork/git_test/.git/ git.kernel.org[0: 140.211.167.38]: errno=Connection timed out
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Connection timed out) fetch-pack from 'git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/drzeus/mmc.git' failed.

I can ping the 140.211.167.38. I am using Fedora Core 5 hosted through vmware 5.5. Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

You're probably quite a few hops away from that machine. However, mmc.git is a fork of the kernel tree, so if you can get ahold of any other kernel repository (for example from repo.or.cz), you can easen the load by using the --reference option to git-clone.

Hth,
