Dunno, but mine has changed overnight: $ host cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu cran.cnr.Berkeley.edu is an alias for nature.Berkeley.edu. nature.Berkeley.edu has address 169.229.201.201 nature.Berkeley.edu has IPv6 address 2607:f140:0:8000::201 nature.Berkeley.edu mail is handled by 5 mx0.ist.Berkeley.edu. nature.Berkeley.edu mail is handled by 5 mx1.ist.Berkeley.edu. and the web page at https://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/bin/windows/contrib/3.2 works now. So just apply the most basic network-fu: Sit back and let the admins sort it out, then wait for cache updates... -pd > -- > David >> -- >> Peter Dalgaard, Professor, >> Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School >> Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark >> Phone: (+45)38153501 >> Office: A 4.23 >> Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> >> > > David Winsemius > Alameda, CA, USA -- Peter Dalgaard, Professor, Center for Statistics, Copenhagen Business School Solbjerg Plads 3, 2000 Frederiksberg, Denmark Phone: (+45)38153501 Office: A 4.23 Email: pd....@cbs.dk Priv: pda...@gmail.com ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
