Hello Giulio, 

What is likely happening is that you're asking for so much data at one time 
that the servers time out.   The way around this problem is to run your queries 
in smaller chunks, such as doing each chromosome separately.

>From what you are describing it looks like you might try the following method 
>to get the data you are looking for:

Go to the Table Browser, "Tables" on the blue bar on the top of the main page.  
Leave the default settings but change group to "Variation and Repeats", track 
to "SNP Arrays" and table to "snpArrayIllumina1M".  Change the position to just 
one chromosome, or to a subregion you are interested in.

for "output format" choose "selected fields from primary and related tables", 
then click "get output".  On the next page, under Linked Tables click the box 
next to "hg18.snp129" and click "Allow Selection from Checked Tables".  Now you 
are able to select which columns from hg18.snp129 that you would like to 
retrieve alongside your Illumina array data.  When you've selected the fields 
you want from both tables, click "get output".

This should get you the data you're looking for.

You might also have a look at the Galaxy website to do joins and intersections 
for you:  http://main.g2.bx.psu.edu/

I hope this information is helpful to you.  Please don't hesitate to contact us 
again if you require further assistance.
