Hi Duncan,
it is Win Xp with the 2.6.0 R-project version. Sorry, I should have 
included this before.
Installing the TinnR package manually from a local zip file 
downloaded from CRAN helped. I am still not sure why the package was 
not picked in the repositories. Can anyone please see if the package 
is visible to other under install packages in any repository?

Your version of R is too old.  TinnR was last updated in February this 
year and claims to support 2.6.0, but CRAN no longer builds binaries 
for 2.6.x.  (Version 2.6.0 became obsolete in November 2007 when 2.6.1 
was released, and binaries for the 2.6.x series stopped being built 
sometime last year.)

If you are set up for installing from source, you could try 
downloading the source package

http://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/TinnR_1.0.3.tar.gz

and running

Rcmd INSTALL TinnR_1.0.3.tar.gz

but it is probably easier to update your R to the current release.

I have troubles make TinnR 2.2.0.2 work, it seems that the

manual downloads, but I cannot find the package anywhere on any 
CRAN mirror).

What R version are you using, on what platform?  I have no trouble 
with an automatic install of the TinnR package into 2.8.1 on Windows.

I even set a default cran mirror in the Rprofile.site file, so that 
the later command can find it:
# check necesary packages
necessary = c('TinnR', 'svSocket')
installed = necessary %in% installed.packages()[, 'Package']
if (length(necessary[!installed]) >=1)
install.packages(necessary[!installed], dep=T).

No luck. Even manually issuing the comand in Rterm fails, package 
?TinnR? is not available.
Any idea how I could make my TinnR work? I googled extensively, but 
without luck...

Thanks
