Connection timed out: connect, Eclipse juno + EGit

Question

I'm using Windows 7 with Eclipse Juno and EGit plugins Whenever I try to Import > Project from Git, it always return eror message Connection timed out: connect. error message

I try to import from git via ssh. with username/password

Did someone experienced this kind of issue?

Looks like either a proxy or firewall problem to me. Have you tried using the Git command line client? — robinst, Jul 05 '12 at 07:55
I try using git command line client and TortoiseGit, both works fine — Permana, Jul 10 '12 at 08:21

Just had the same issue; for myself, it was a proxy-related issue. If you have a proxy, try the following.

First off, ensure you have your GIT configured for your proxy. Under your Eclipse preferences, venture to:

Team -> Git -> Configuration -> User Settings

Add the entry http.proxy with the value such as http://<myip>:<myport>.

Since GIT is using a proxy and my server is located in my local LAN, I had (for my setup) to add an exception in my Internet Options for my repository's host.

On a side note:

I did not have to configure the http.sslverify GIT preference to get it to work.
I did not have to manually alter any configurations under General -> Network Connections -> SSH2.
I did not have to alter my GIT URL specifically tailored to an SSH connection (ie. I can use the string <my user>@<host>:/opt/git/<repo>/ instead of ssh://<my user>@<host>/opt/git/<repo>/).
