You need to tell R how to access the internet using the web proxy used
at your institution.

You can read the man page for download.file and/or search the R-help
and bioconductor mailing lists as this is a common issue.

Perhaps someone who has recently solved this can chime in with a
summary of the solution that worked for them.
