Hi, Everytime I type in source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R") on R, I get a error message saying "unable to connect to 'bioconductor.org' on port 80. I've read the R faq and I do not really understand it because I don't really know too much about proxy server and etc. Can I get some advice on this problem? Many thanks, Lin ________________________________ UT Southwestern Medical Center The future of medicine, today. [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
