It's more likely to be 8080, not 808.

If that doesn't work, there is an easier way.  When you install the Windows
binary, there is an option called 'Internet access'.  Change from the default
to internet2, and R will then use your browser settings.  Assuming your 
browser
works, R will have the correct proxy setting.
