I had no problem before (case 1) but now (case 2) I cannot get it to work,
googleing did not help:
case 1:
* connecting directly without any proxy setting (at my university)
* using R 2.12.2
case 2:
* connecting through proxy setting (at my workplace)
* using R 2.13.0
I set the proxy in terminal too but it does not help (echo $http_proxy gives
me http://192.168.0.1:8080/)
