[R] Connect to internet

[Millo Giovanni]

(Assuming you are on Windows) Some time ago, with R-2.9.1 on WinXP, I
had success adding the --internet2 option to the program call in the
shortcut to R on my desktop, like this:
- open the shortcut
- in the "destination" tab, which should read like: "c:\Program
files\R\R-x.x.x\bin\Rgui.exe", add " --internet2" at the end.
This should call a DLL which takes the settings from your browser and
uses them. I've found this solution in this thread:

Hi,

I have a new workstation and am in the process of moving all my work
onto
it. I have also installed R 2.10.0 on the new machine.

I remember changing my R settings of my old machine (R 2.9.1) to connect
to
the internet, but I can't remember exactly how. I have tried
Sys.getenv(),
but it does not give me the proxy settings I would need to finish the
setup
of my new machine.

Does anyone know how to extract the R setup from one machine, to "clone"
onto another?

Many thanks,
Eduard
