[BioC] bypassing firewall - destination ip address

[Kishor Tappita]

Thanks again Dan. After bypassing the firewall I was able to install
the bioconductor packages with the below commands.

options(BioC_mirror="http://master.bioconductor.org")
source("http://master.bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
biocLite("package_name")


Regards,
Kishior
