Hi again Rhoda,

using the www.ensembl.org as host does allow me to do the queries I  
needed. Thank you.

To clarify, if anybody else was on the same boat as I:

library(biomaRt)
ensembl=useMart("ENSEMBL_MART_ENSEMBL", host="www.ensembl.org")
dataset="hsapiens_gene_ensembl"
ensembl=useDataset(dataset, mart=ensembl)
attributes1=attributes1=c("entrezgene",
              "go_cellular_component_id",
              "go_cellular_component__dm_name_1006")
obj=c(949, 3576)
getBM(attributes=attributes1, filters="entrezgene", values=obj, mart=ensembl)

Jose
