Greetings, I am using R version 2.11.1 on a Dell computer, via a VMware connection to a remote server. My browser version is IE 8.0.6001.18702 and the OS is some corporate version of Microsoft XP.
I'm trying to learn more about the tapply function , so I typed ?tapply into the command line. This opened up a browser window with url http://127.0.0.1:28138/library/base/html/tapply.html which is giving me an error message. I receive the same problem when trying for help on other commands, e.g. ?table http://127.0.0.1:28138/library/base/html/table.html and ?log http://127.0.0.1:28138/library/base/html/Log.html I did a whois on 127.0.0.1 via www.geektools.com<http://www.geektools.com> and got the information boxed below, which suggests I'm not going where I am supposed to be going when I ask for help. I'm assuming this problem is associated with my VMware link to the server. Is anyone else running this type of connection through to R and, if so, could they please advise how to remove the issue? I've been able to bring in my data table fine, and do some commands on it, the issue so far appears related only to help files. I'm assuming this is because the help files call a URL that, in my case, appears to be incorrect (whereas the R commands are not calling a URL and therefore are working fine). I found this earlier thread: https://bugs.r-project.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=14155 however, the commentary says the bug was fixed. Final results obtained from whois.arin.net.
