Hi. I''m a happy shorewall user. I found something that looks like a possible bug. I''m using shorewall on a single computer at home. I''m using the privoxy proxy server and dansguardian content filter. I configured shorewall based on the "one interface" example from the shorewall.net website.

Hi there I'm trying to configure R to get access to the internet. Using the Internet Explorer a proxy .pac script is used. Reading some older threads I found that I can use the --internet2 option.

List, I am using the 'tisPlot' function in Jeff Hallman's excellent tis package and was hoping that someone could spare me from having to dig into the code of his 'tisPlot' function. So far as I can tell, the preferred method of controlling the plotting of the x-axis is using the 'xTickFreq' and 'xTickSkip' options. Unfortunately, the where the data ends

Hi all, my uni has recently switched to using a proxy (with password) for accessing Web pages outside the uni. I have since found that "update packages" etc no longer seem to work from R. I have tried to fix this problem in two ways:- 1) renaming internet2.dll to internet.dll in the "Modeules" folder and proceeding as usual. When I tried "update packages" from the

Hi all; I?m working with the latest version of R under Win2000. My internet connection (using a proxy) requires my username and password.

I was trying to install R on a unix server. Because of a firewall i can't install biocLite for working with Bioconductor. With windows it wasn't a problem. I used the option '--internet2' to bypass the firewall. I don't have any idea, how to do it with unix. I tried to set my proxy >Sys.putenv("http_proxy"="http...:8080")

I cannot access internet through R. My IT-guys told me that I should set the proxy and the port and then everything will be fine. Where can I set them? I use R 2.6.2 under Windows 2000 and these settings are those of the Internet Explorer (no password). I read http://cran.at.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#The-Internet-download-functions-fail_002e but staring R by "C:\Program

Could somebody please assist with the problem I have now. At our university certain changes have been made to users regarding accessing the internet.

Dear R people, I have been trying to use install.package() to install packages from CRAN. The machine is a Windows 2000 with Pentium 4. The machine operates under a proxy environment. I have followed advices I found on R-help mailing list: change internet2.dll to internet.dll so that R will use the same setting as Internet Explorer uses.

gday R gurus, I've never attempted to use download.file before on my win2k machine but this version 1.4 looks exciting. However, I'm not getting something right.
