SSH Access Blocked After Trying GitStack

I'm using msysgit (Git-1.7.11-preview20120710.exe). I tried GitStack on Win8, which is a git server, and after uninstalling it because it didn't work out, I got blocked from accesing port 22 anymore. Here's what msysgit throws at me every time I try to push/clone/etc.

Welcome to Git (version 1.7.11-preview20120710)
Run 'git help git' to display the help index.
Run 'git help ' to display help for specific commands.

This wasn't happening before installing GitStack. And I really haven't done anything other than that in the middle. Any suggestions ?

Notes:

  1. While installing GitStack, I didn't check "Install msysgit" option, because I already had it installed. But the application didn't work out of the box. I assume that's the reason. I uninstalled it inmediately after that.

  2. I've rebooted and disabled my firewall several times. I checked with Nmap and says "filtered".

  3. I already saw Git SSH error: "Connect to host: Bad file number", but this is not the solution I'm looking for. I want to go back to the previous state without the error. Besides, I'm not only using github.

  4. It worked before installing GitStack.

Thanks!

Solution

  • GitStack does not support yet Windows 8 as this system is not released yet.
    GitStack creates a restore point before its installation. You should try to revert your computer at a previous state.
    Make sure also to double check that your firewall does not block the port 22. GitStack does not use and modify the port 22.
