[R] How R connects to the internet

[Menezes, Ian]

Stefan,

Thanks for the response

I'm using the GUI version of R in Windows. I usually just click the R
icon on my desktop, so Im not sure how I would use the --internet2
option?

You haven't told which operating system you use. For windows there is
the option --internet2 for the Rgui.exe that uses the proxy settings of
the explorer.
