Issue: Connecting to a computer in a network. I would like to connect to a file on a computer on my internal network that has a different password. I have tried download.file and read.csv to no avail. When use this link in explorer it will prompt me for a username/password: file://hs9999-907/D$/protein%20Maintenance%20Logs/123.txt Then it lets me through. I cannot get any R traction on where I might be going wrong or a command that might work.

See ?setInternet2.For the local network, that should not be required and readLines("//hs9999-907/D$/protein%20Maintenance%20Logs/123.txt") should show the file, hence I guess the OP forgot to omit the "file:" part.
