...ot;) Nevertheless the way the connection is done has changed. For example, in the browser the proxy is not indicated and I have to give an username and a password to have access to internet. I read the FAQ and the help for download.file but I was not able to do updates. I tried Sys.putenv("http_proxy_user"="ask") Sys.putenv("http_proxy_user"="http://****:****") Well, I use R under both Windows XP and Linux Ubuntu. Thanks for any help.

...d. Reading some older threads I found that I can use the --internet2 option. When choosing a mirror I get the error: "407 Proxy Authentication Required". This seems reasonable since I have to log in when using the IE as well. But where do I enter username and password in R? Sys.setenv(http_proxy_user="ask") or Sys.setenv(http_proxy_user="ask") does not help. (And is not needed for the internet2 option as far as I am informed) Any help appreciated -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Configuring-Proxy-Proxy-Authentication-Required-with-internet2-tp...

...deparment, I am trying to follow your advice to implement the settings to my computer (using Windows), by using Control Panel. I have selected System in Control Panel and chose System, Advanced tab, Environmental Variables, and created the user variables: http_proxy, with value 152.106.241.34:3128 http_proxy_user, with value user:pass (replacing these with my own username and password to connect to the internet via Internet Explorer. I have deleted R, rebooted the computer, and installed R again (NOT choosing Internet2). Then after opening Rgui.exe, I go to the Packages menu in the R console, and select &q...

Dear R- Users, I am unable to install R packages over the internet. Below is my session information. My guess is that this may be a proxy issue. I have set the http_proxy_user : my user id(network id) : password (machine password) . The error I get is as below > install.packages("MASS") Warning: unable to access index for repository http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/cran/bin/windows/contrib/2.15 Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/...

...from proxy - HTTP/1.1 401 Authentication required", which is not unexpected, under the circumstances. If I'm reading the manual correctly, the USER and RSYNC_PASSWD environment variables only affect rsync's authentication to the remote rsync server. With many apps, you'd specify http_proxy_user and http_proxy_pass in your environment, but this doesn't seem to work with rsync. (The fact that it's not mentioned in the manual made this a thin hope, anyway). If there's absolutely no way to do this using rsync alone, does anyone know of a simple HTTP proxy program that could be c...

Dear List, I have a problem connecting to a CRAN mirror through a networked computer running Vista Enterprise on a Dell PC. I added http_proxy=http://gannet/ http_proxy_user=ask to the Target in the R shortcut, completed the username and password in the Proxy Authentication window, but get the following warning: Warning message: In open.connection(con, "r") : unable to resolve 'gannet' When I try to download a package I get the following messages:...

hi, as I'm using R at Dell (where I am working), I manage to install packages from web, but there is a web proxy, which is pretty boring. R asks me to enter an active directory login/password, that would normally auth me through the web proxy, but it doesn't work. I'm looking forward for your help. Sorry if I used bad english. Any ideas ? Laurent -- «Un peu d'internationalisme

Hi, I am using Tinn-R and somehow I cannot point it to start a R shortcut with http_proxy settings including authentification. It always shows the .exe. Is there any way to set the proxy from within R or any other ideas how to do it? I am using R 2.4 for Windows. Thanks a million, Werner

Thanks to Greg and Michael for their advice. I have tried all these possibilities (and other); nothing seems to work; I persistently get the message: In open.connection(con, "r") : cannot open: HTTP status was '407 Proxy Authentication Required' It seems as if "proxy authentication required" is causing the problem. It seems I have to set up an .Renviron file, but I am

Hi, From R 2.6, I would like to update to R2.7. I would like to have some tips on the recommended method of installing the latest versions of an entire list of packages in R2.7 - i.e. all the packages that I have presently installed in R2.6. I am hoping that there is an easier method than fetching the packages individually as I did, to begin with, for R2.6. Additionally, I would like to install

Dear R users, I have a problem in the configuration of R: I just changed university, and my conection to the net is via a password, which permits me to access the packages with no problem via the internet explorer (version 6). I just updated R to R 1.81, and I cannot download nether upgrade packages (and many are not working with the update!!!). I have been looking in the help and emails, and
