title: Git Remote Server connections refused
body: <p>I'm getting crazy with this error, after 2 days i didn't find what wrong in my system, and I'm sure that it is very easy to fix it.</p>
  
  <p>When I try to connect to my git server using git functions I got the message:
  <strong>Unable to open connection:
  Host does not exist
  fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
  Please make sure you have the correct access rights
  and the repository exists.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I will explain a little more:
  If I open a gitBash (from my windows machine) and I try to connect to my git server (over Debian) using ssh everything is working fine. rsa autentification works fine and logins perfetly</p>
  
  <p>For example:
  <strong>ssh myGitHost</strong></p>
  
  <p>once in, I can go to <strong>/opt/git/MyRep.git</strong> and I can create repositories using <strong>git init --bare</strong>
  also from my windows guibash I can use <strong>scp</strong> instructions and again works fine, so I can clone my local repositores and copy to my gitServer </p>
  
  <p>BUT...</p>
  
  <p>When I try to do any git action from my gitbash (clone or push) like
  <strong>git clone myGitHost:/opt/git/MyRep.git</strong> 
  I get that persisten error.</p>
  
  <p>Any idea what i'm doing wrong?</p>
  
  <p>I'm using putty (plink) in my windows machine after get the same error using openSSH
  and at the git server i dind't install anything like gitlab, just git, </p>
  
  <p>I found some issues talking about that but not one fix my problem becouse most of them talk about gitlab configurations or github problems connections.</p>
  
  <p>Did I miss any daemon?
  Or is needed any aditional software like gitlab?
  Regard</p>
