About problem for R to download files:

The repertory "2.9" for the second mirror doesn't exist.
Hope this helps,

Hi,
I am having some trouble trying to install a number of packages in R on my work
computer. An example of the code I am using is as follows:
install.packages("ggplot2",dependencies=TRUE)
An example of the error messages I am getting is:
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://cran.stat.auckland.ac.nz/bin/windows/contrib/2.9
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.9
Warning messages:
1: In open.connection(con, "r") : unable to resolve 'cran.r-project.org'
2: In getDependencies(pkgs, dependencies, available, lib) :
package 組gplot2� is not available
The version of R I am using is 2.9.1.
I have tried the same script at home with no problems and also at my previous
workplace. I thought it may be to do with not having IT administrator
privileges but and IT administrator tried with the same result and also tried
the latest version of R with the same result. The It administrator also did not
see any internet traffic from my machine when I tried the install so we have
come to the conclusion that R must not be able to access the internet from my
machine � I do have general internet access.
We are using a proxy server (TMG � Microsoft痴 Threat Management Gateway). Can R
work with a proxy server on the network?
If so, how should this be configured so that a Network Administrator can make
the appropriate changes?
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Alex Collier
