Hello,
I am running R 2.1.0 on Windows 2000.
When I attempt to install or update packages, regardless of whether I use the menu or command line, I get the following error.
utils:::chooseCRANmirror() utils:::menuInstallPkgs()
Warning message:
unable to connect to 'cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu' on port 80. Warning: unable to access index for repository http://cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu/bin/windows/contrib/2.1
Warning message:
unable to connect to 'www.stats.ox.ac.uk' on port 80. Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.1
Error in install.packages(NULL, .libPaths()[1], dependencies = TRUE, type = type) : no packages were specified
I have uninstalled and reinstalled R 2.1.0 to no avail. I read through the recent treads on similar problems, but if an answer to my problem we given, I missed it.
It sounds as though you need to configure a proxy for Internet access. See the discussion in the R for Windows FAQ (which gives other possibilities too).
