Hi all, I have tried the helpful suggestion below from Andrew Ward, but I now get the following error:-
> update.packages() trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/PACKAGES' Error in download.file(url = paste(contriburl, "PACKAGES", sep = "/"), : cannot open: HTTP status was `407 Proxy Authentication Required' >From previous correspondence on this help server, i believe that this problem may arise from my site's requirement for a password to be entered when outside sites are accessed. ??????

I specify "--internet2" on the Target line of my R shortcut. This then uses the proxy configuration within your web browser, and I have no problems. Regards, Andrew C.
