Hi,

Does no one have a solution for me? Or does this not make sense?

Hopefully,

Hi,

I need to update my packages and I cannot seem to connect to CRAN.  I
get the following error:

Error in file(con, "r") : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(con, "r") : unable to connect to 'cran.r-project.org' on port 80.
I think it's because I am behind a proxy server here at the university.

Can you please tell me how to fix this? I am using the gui version and
can't seem to find a menu with an option to set a proxy server.

Thanks,

Shelah
