R devel - Sep 2003 - With the recent OS changes (windows 2000) necessitated by (PR#4187)

With the recent OS changes (windows 2000) necessitated by various worms, etc, I
have now been receiving this error message when I run update and I am not sure
how I can correct.
>update.packages()
>trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/PACKAGES'
Error in download.file(url = paste(contriburl, "PACKAGES", sep =
"/"),  :
        cannot open: HTTP status was `404'


Thanks,  Greg G

This is not a bug.  It indicates that *you* don't have direct internet
access.  There is an item in the rw-FAQ about this.

Please do not use R-bugs to report problems in your own environment, nor to
ask questions (especially those covered in FAQs).
