Recently, I also had problems installing packages when under a transparent proxy. What helped (both Windows and Linux) was to make sure that wget correctly accesses the Internet, and under R run smth like: install.packages("package", method="wget"). I don't remember remember exactly what files and how I tweaked them on Windows, but the Internet should be of help. Also, check this thread [1] for hints.
