Trying to git clone a repo but receiving strange error 

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ git clone git://github.com/MalcolmRobb/dump1090.git
Cloning into 'dump1090'...
fatal: unable to connect to github.com:
github.com: Name or service not known

I followed this tutorial to fix my ip on the wifi , all is working fine i can ssh to raspi on LAN and also from external IP (ports forwarded on Router).

below my actual interfaces configurations.

/etc/network/interfaces

auto wlan0

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth0 inet dhcp

allow-hotplug wlan0

iface wlan0 inet static

address 192.168.1.101

netmask 255.255.255.0

gateway 192.168.1.1

wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

iface default inet dhcp

    can you just type "ping github.com" if you get something like "host unknown" you are not connected to the internet correctly. Also try "ping 192.30.252.129" which is the IP address I get when resolving github.com

  • Can you also edit your question and include the output of ifconfig

Ok seems that i was able to fix the issue adding nameservers to resolf.conf

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

then add the server IP of the openDNS as eg.

nameserver  208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220
