Another solution on Windows uses Internet Explorers's settings, see the rw-FAQ. d) This has been discussed multiple times on the list, see the archive(s) and/or suitable web searches.

If you have trouble, you may wish to search the R-Help archive as this has been discussed at length very recently. HTH, Marc Schwartz
If you are on a Windows machine try to invoke R with the --internet2 switch.

The web browser knows the machine that serves "Proxy Auto-Configuration" files, but I needed to get the name of an actual proxy server from our local guru. -- -- David Brahm (brahm at alum.mit.edu)
