I get an error when I try to authenticate my public key

I'm trying to set up a repo on git. I created an account and started setting it up. I'm currently on the last step on this page: http://help.github.com/msysgit-key-setup/

[Testing things out]

I do: $ssh [email protected] and get the error ssh: connect to host github.com port 22: Bad file number

Can anyone help me get my repo up and running?

Thank you all so much for reading and helping!

Edit:

1) I am running Windows Vista

2) I may have firewall issues due to my living at a boarding school

3) Image when I try to push the repo:

If your proxy/firewall don't allow outgoing ssh requests, (and you can check your ssh-related issue with this SO answer), try https:

With GitHub, you have a smart HTTP support in place for you to use when pushing to a GitHub repo. (Also detailed in this other SO answer)
