Hi.. I am using R as a user, another group built everything I am using. But I need to install some packages and my only internet access is via a web-proxy. I have hunted though the docs and I'm not finding anything on setting a proxy in the package install command. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks Sue Susan Caskey International Biological Threat Reduction Sandia National Laboratories sacaske@sandia.gov (505) 284-5095 *Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.

Then R will use whatever proxy you have configured into Internet Explorer.
