I realise this isn't exactly an R query, but does anyone know what ports
I need to open in order to get the install package function working?
It's blocked by our University firewall.
You mean install.packages() ?
It depends what you are connecting to. Most CRAN mirrors are using
http:// and port 80. If you can download the packages in a browser then
that is not the problem ....
I have been asked for the following info and I don't know where to find
it or how to get it. I guess my computer knows this info - it knows
where it's trying to connect to - but I don't know how to get at it.
Source IP addresses (I know this one)
Destination IP addresses
That's your own machine.
Protocols and ports
Any advice/info appreciated.
The posting guide asked you for 'at a minimum' information: you did not
provide it. If you are on Windows, see
