R help - Mar 2002 - RE: problem: use install.packages() with proxy under Windows 2000 with Pentium 4 machine

Hi all,

An offline communication with B. Ripley gives the answer for whoever else
may have the similar problem:
Run R with a flag:

Rgui --internet2 or Rterm --internet2

By the way, as Brian pointed out, this information can be found at R for
Windows FAQ on cran website.

Regards,
Jonathan
