[Bf-committers] GIT connection problem in release/scripts/ addons_contrib

[Vicente]

Hi Dan,

Still same problem. Tomorrow I will try it from my office, to make sure 
is a local problem or not. I forgot to say that my neighbour and myself 
have the same IP (apparently this works a bit different from non-fiber 
configurations).

We both are using Ubuntu 14.04, maybe is a distro problem...

I did the test: git+browse+ping. The git failed, and other two working 
perfectly with a difference of aprox. 1 second between them.

Also I tried git with the verbose option, but nothing special appeared.

During the week is complicated for me, but next weekend I can try to 
meet you in the IRC.

Thank you for your help.

Vicente
