Answer 1

I would update the git version: 1.7.10 (or thereabouts) had authentication improvements. It's possible that these improvements were only related to proxies though -- I've forgotten the details already.

Speaking of proxies, you could double-check git config: You wouldn't have proxies or anything like that configured on the macbook but not on the cent machine?
