Looks like you're having a DNS issue. I'm not sure how to fix it, however. One thing you could try is doing
git config --global url."https://github.com/".insteadOf "git://github.com/" at a terminal and then see if that fixes things. That will modify your global git config file, so to go back to a normal state, you will need to edit that file, but I have no idea where it might live on Windows.
