I cannot access internet through R. My IT-guys told me that I should set the proxy and the port and then everything will be fine. Where can I set them? I use R 2.6.2 under Windows 2000 and these settings are those of the Internet Explorer (no password).
I read http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#The-Internet-download-functions-fail_002e but staring R by "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.6.2\bin\Rgui.exe" --internet2 a package update still gives me an error: > update.packages(ask='graphics') --- Please select a CRAN mirror for use in this session --- Fehler: Indizierung außerhalb der Grenzen Zusätzlich: Warning messages: 1: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) : Line starting '<html> ...' is malformed! 2: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) : Line starting ' <head> ...' is malformed! 3: In read.dcf(file = tmpf) : Line starting '</html> ...' is malformed! Do you know what I could try next?
