Hi all;

I?m working with the latest version of R under Win2000. My internet connection
(using a proxy) requires my username and password. In this situation I?m
not able to update the packages from CRAN (unless I download and install
them from a local drive). I tried looking at information on the list servers
but I couldn?t figure out how to change 'environment variables' or something
like that. I also tried renaming the files internet2.dll to internet.dll
and so on. Any 'new' idea how to solve this situation.

Thanks in advance

Have you tried the methods described in the "FAQ on R for Windows"
(item 2.17 in version 1.8.1)?

Personally, I use http_proxy="....." in the file ~/.Renviron -- i.e. a file
called .Renviron in the directory pointed to by the $HOME env. variable.
