Login failed in github for window


I installed Github for window and I can't connect to my git hub account.

I tried to reinstall several times, but I always end up with the following error:

login failed

Unable to retrieve your user info from the server. A proxy server might be interfering with the request.

I don't use a proxy and I disabled the windows firewall without success. What am I missing here? Am I suppose to NAT a port on my router?


Solution

  • The error message is really misleading. The issue wasn't linked to a proxy configuration.

    After running the DOS command line sfc /scannow, I've been able to find the source of the problem. It turned out that one of my Windows dll (rasman.dll) was corrupted. I replaced the dll and now everything is back to normal.
