Answer 1

Are you behind a firewall blocking connections on port 9418? Perhaps you can give it a try with the http protocol?

git clone https://github.com/pengwynn/linkedin.git

Answer 2

Set proxy using git config command in the command prompt with
the following two commands: 
    git config --global http.proxy http://username:password@host:port 
    git config --global https.proxy http://username:password@host:port

In command like:
    git clone git://github.com/saasbook/hw2_rottenpotatoes.git
Replace replace git:// with https://.
    git clone https://github.com/saasbook/hw2_rottenpotatoes.git
