git checkout error

I am running following command which is giving error

Code:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trovalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/tapas/LKP/pandora/linux-2.6/.git/

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Some one suggested me to check my firewall I am not clear as which port does git uses.
Can some one tell what is wrong in above command.
Ubuntu 9.04
