      When I try to clone a git repository from a ssh server on our local network I get the following error :-
      Unable to open connection

      Unable to open serial portfatal: Could not read from remote repository

      I can clone the repository from the commandline. Dragging the cloned repository folder into SourceTree shows me the repository details, but I get the same error again when I try to fetch or pull that cloned repository in SourceTree. Cloning a repository from GitHub (using https) works in SourceTree. I have installed SourceTree on 3 other computers and they all work without a problem. What can I do to investigate further?
