Pulling branch gets unable to connect error

Question

I was hoping somebody might be able to give me a hand by pointing out where I'm going wrong with github. I have my branch cloned down to my machine and I'm attempting to fetch from another user's branch on github.

>git remote add rally25rs git://github.com/rally25rs/SubSonic-3.0.git
>git fetch rally25rs master

github.com[0: 207.97.227.239]: errorno=No error
fatal: unable to connect a socket (No error)

As far as I can tell this is the correct procedure.

Answer 1

You're using the wrong syntax

 git remote add rally25rs git://github.com:rally25rs/SubSonic-3.0.git

is what you want. Note the : after github.com
