Dear Pete, Thanks, it works now!
I did as you suggested: --internet flag to the target line (right click, properties) e.g. "C:\Program Files\R\R-2.8.1\bin\Rgui.exe" --internet2 Strangely enough, I can now easly download packages but I still get these messages: chooseCRANmirror() Warning message: In open.connection(con, "r") : cannot open: HTTP status was '407 Proxy Authentication Required' > utils:::menuInstallPkgs() Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.10 ..but eventually it does install what I want...any clue?
