search for: autoproxy

...er. I am trying to download packages but seem to have trouble with our proxy settings. I have read the 2.19 section in R for Windows and tried what was suggested (setting http_proxy) but that did not help (still cannot connect). I think my problem is that we do not have a fixed port but use instead autoproxy. Has anyone encountered this problem and if so how can it be fixed?
