As a suggestion for Ubuntu servers  you can write down essid and password of router in your  etc network interfaces file     iface  en0    your wireless driver no necessarily en0  inet static     address 192 168 1 100    something for your static ip between 1-255      netmask 255 255 255 0     gateway 192 168 1 1    this is the ip of your router      dns-nameservers 8 8 8 8    you can use whatever you want      wpa-ssid qwertyuio    this is router id      wpa-psk qwertyuio    this is router password for wireless connection    When I got this error while pulling a repository to my server  I wrote wpa-ssid and wpa-psk and restarted  Then it worked   EDIT  I faced the same issue again and this time it was because of the inconsistency in router signal levels  My connection was not strong  that was the problem  However  the solution above is a real solution for static ip

In my case  on a Windows box  my TCP IP stack seems to have needed to be reset   Resetting the TCP IP stack of the client PC caused git to start behaving properly again   Run this command in Administrator mode at a command prompt and retry the git command   netsh int ip reset   Manually disabling and re-enabling the network adapter via the Control Panel produces a similar result   I suspect DNS resolution problems inside the TCP stack on my Windows box
