A small update to my problem using the git protocol from my laptop at Warwick.
I still get the same problem as before from my laptop, i.e.
git clone git://starlink.jach.hawaii.edu/starlink.git
Initialized empty Git repository in ***/starlink/.git/
fatal: read error (Connection reset by peer)
However, the same command works from my desktop, while it fails on a
colleague's desktop a couple of offices away. The common factor between my
laptop and his desktop is that they are connected to a different VLAN than
my desktop. The fact that it works on one machine suggests that it is not a
firewall problem (and this is the same laptop upon which the command worked
OK in Chile). My system manager thinks it must be an issue at your end ...
it has to be said this is almost always his reaction to any network-related
problem, but perhaps he is right in this case?
