title: Git error 504 connecting to the server
body: <p>I am trying to use Git for the first time in my company, but when I try to clone a project or push anything to the server, I get instantly the following:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>fatal: unable to access '[my_project_name]': The requested URL returned error: 504</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I said instantly because 504 is a timeout error, and is not even taking 1 sec. </p>
  
  <p>The point is all my colleagues are able to connect, but something seems to be wrong in my machine or user. This is what I tried:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>A colleague from the same network can clone and push the project</li>
  <li>A colleague connecting to my machine via Remote Desktop can also do it with his user, so it seems git installation works fine.</li>
  <li>I uninstalled git and the config file and installed it again, nothing.</li>
  <li>I tried with and without the company proxy, same thing.</li>
  <li>I have a VM in this machine, from there it works with my user.</li>
  <li>Also works from other remote machines with my user.</li>
  <li>It does not even ask for the user and password, is failing before, so I guess this is not the issue.</li>
  <li>I can clone any other github project from the internet.</li>
  <li>System Admins gave me full access to the git server, and in fact it works in other machines, so i guess the server is OK.</li>
  <li>Finally I tried with ssh, failing as well with the message </li>
  </ul>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>"connection refused by the server", I suppose caused by the same unknown issue.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I someone can give any hint it will be really appreciated. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks !</p>
