Hi Marc, Thanks a lot for your reply.
In fact, I am running R in a remote linux server. I am wondering there are some special settings for Internet access in this server. I have ever tried to use different CRAN mirrors, and failed. I can use "lftp", "wget", "curl" to link to internet, in this server. So, do you have any ideas/tools/scripts on how to track the real problem, in my case?
