Git Plugin for Jenkins Fails to Connect to Repository

I am setting up a Jenkins master/slave configuration. I have the slave setup and connected to the master. I am having some trouble with connecting to my SCM which is on Git.

I am getting the following error:

I have made certain on the master that the Git path is defined correctly. I have also looked at other similar questions and none have helped as they all revolve around SSH keys. We are not using SSH keys, I am simply using my Git user name and password which has worked on other setups I have done recently. I also set on the node properties a tool location for Git for the slave.

Is there anything I need to do on the slave that I am missing? How do I resolve this? By the way, the master and slave are both Ubuntu 14.04.

Make sure to give git path in Dashboard --> Manage Jenkins --> Tools --> Git Installations --> C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe

You need to git.exe path, if you had given only until \bin then it would error.
