I have two computers, first in dual boot on different hard disks, with openSUSE-11.0 (master) and OS-11.1 (slave), the other with WinXP (master) and OS-11.1 (slave). Both computers are connected to the Internet through the same ethernet modem via a hub.
On both computers I can normally connect to the Internet using Firefox, and manage my e-mails using Thunderbird. But all attempts to manage git result in a time out: git.gnome.org[0: 1.0.0.0]: errno=Network is unreachable
fatal: unable to connect a socket (Network is unreachable)
Yet ping git.gnome.org works normally and all is OK with OS-11.0.
I tried connecting each computer alone directly to the modem, without hub: no success.
This doesn’t seem to be a hardware problem but a OS-11.1 problem.
I can’t find the cause of this inconsistency.

What does “manage git” mean?

What protocol are you trying to use?
Afaics git.gnome.org uses ssh, so to get a repository you’d use e.g.
git clone ssh://git.gnome.org/git/<repo>

I well know (at least as a normal user…) how to use git.
As I told in my message, I can use git normally under OS-11.0. The problem is that I can’t under OS-11.1.

Then it’s safe to assume something is blocking a connection to the repos.
Does this also happen with other git repos or protocols?
e.g.
git clone git://github.com/git/hello-world.git
Could there be a firewall reject line, have you checked the log files?

The most obvious one would be /var/log/messages
