Hi Xiwei,
Are you behind a firewall?
Keep in mind that the current biomaRt will try to do MySQL queries to
the databases,
if you are behind a firewall then these queries won't go through and you
get the error you show.
You can either ask your systems to enable mysql queries or install a
local version of the BioMart database you want to query with biomaRt.
best,
Steffen
On which platform are you working? Do you have the XML package installed?
