Hi, I am currently trying to install packages from BioConductor to R. However, I received a error stating: "unable to connect to 'www.bioconductor.org' on port 80" May I know what is wrong and how may I correct it?? If possible give a step by step procedures on how can I do it... Thanks alot, Amelia PS: Please reply ASAP as I am currently doing a Final Year Project on microarray analysis and already beyond scheduled.

Thanks alot, AmeliaThe first step is to see if install functionality (install.packages, download.packages, the pulldown if you're using Windows) work for non-bioconductor software. If not, then the second step is to see question 2.17 in the R for Windows FAQ. -J
You may need to supply some additional information about your setup. What operating system and version are you using? How are you connecting to the internet? Can you download packages from other sources (such as CRAN)? Exactly what procedure are you using to download the packages? Have you tried to download individual packages and install locally? Asking for help ASAP because you are running late is not considerate to those willing to provide help, because most of us are already behind on our own projects. --Matt -----Original Message----- From: r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch [mailto:r-help-bounces at stat.math.ethz.ch]On Behalf Of #AMELIA ANWAR# Sent: Monday, September 20, 2004 19:40 PM To: R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] unable to download Hi, I am currently trying to install packages from BioConductor to R.
