Reply To: Multitech git down?

I am following the instructions here: http://www.multitech.net/developer/software/mlinux/mlinux-building-images/building-a-custom-linux-image/

using the above http link instead of the git, I move forward.

however when I run this:
$ git checkout 3.3.6
$ ROOT_PASSWORD=”mypassword” ./setup.sh

I get the following error:
Updating git submodules…
Cloning into ‘bitbake’
fatal: unable to connect to git.openembedded.org:
git.openembedded.org[0: 104.236.212.160]: errno=Connection timed out

I can open git.openembedded.org from within Firefox on the same Ubuntu dev box.

any ideas?
