R help - Jun 2010 - installing RExcel package

Was wondering if anyone has any experience installing the RExcel package
by hand.  I think I have all the files needed, but our firewall here
prevents RExcelInstaller from going through the internet to get them
like it "wants" to do, and it just gives up.  Any ideas?  Thanks.

You can normally get through the firewall by using
the internet2 option.
Use ??internet for the exact function name.  I am not at my computer now so I
can't check for you.
