R help - Jan 2012 - Trouble installing packages on R2.14.1

Hi,
Have just recently downloaded R version 2.14.1 and can't install
packages (Code below),  32bit version on windows. From the looks of
things access is the problem but I don't know where to start, would it
be my system that is the problem or is the repository not set up for the
latest version yet?
Any ideas on how to rectify the problem would be greatly appreciated
Cheers

  Given that you are unable to reach either repository,
and that both are mainstream (and that I have no trouble
connecting to the CSIRO repository or seeing the other one),
I suspect you are having network and/or firewall troubles.
I believe there is some Windows-specific troubleshooting advice
in the R for Windows FAQ ...
