R help - Feb 2009 - Installing package RODBC error - please help

I have R version 2.8.1 running on Windows 2000 and can't seem to be able to
install package RODBC. I've tried reinstalling R but that wasn't
successful. Can some one please help?

This is the command and the subsequent error message:
> install.packages("RODBC", .Library,
repos="http://cran.r-project.org", method="internal",
destdir=getwd())
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/2.8
Warning message:
package 'RODBC' is not available
