Hi

I have installed R on OS 10.4.9 and have been trying to install the BioConductor packages without success.  

when I try to access the packages i get the following error:

> source("http://bioconductor.org/biocLite.R")
Error in file(file, "r", encoding = encoding) : 
	unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message:
unable to connect to 'bioconductor.org' on port 80.


Is there an easy way to overcome this problem?
I have looked at the posts and it seems to be a firewall issue? but I couldn't solve it.

Thankyou
Pia
