I expect you need to set a proxy. This is covered in the rw-FAQ that we do ask you to read before posting. See the item The internet download functions fail.

Dear R users. I was wondering if you could help me with this error message I get when I try to install packages. I just installed R (the latest version, R 2.2.0) on my laptop (windows), and I was trying to install packages intwo ways: 1) Packages > Install Package(s)... 2) Packages > Install Package(s) from local zip files... , but in both ways I get the following error message: Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.uk.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.2 Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.2 Error in install.packages(NULL, .libPaths()[1], dependencies = TRUE, type = type) : no packages were specified PS: I try selecting my CRAN mirror from different parts (UK, USA, ...), but it doesn't work Any idea, what is wrong with that? Should I install something before installing packages? Thanks in advance for your help! Cheers, Marco [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
