Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has run across this problem in the past and might be able to suggest a solution.

I did a review of the FAQ's link trying to find a topic that closely related to the experience I was having, however I didn't see
anything that might help in diagnosing the problem.

While invoking the options under the "package" menu I get the following errors:

> chooseCRANmirror()
Warning message:
In open.connection(con, "r") : cannot open: HTTP status was '0 (nil)'
> setRepositories()
> update.packages(ask='graphics')
Warning: unable to access index for repository http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/languages/R/CRAN/bin/windows/contrib/2.11

Error in install.packages(NULL, .libPaths()[1L], dependencies = NA, type = type) :
  no packages were specified
> setRepositories()

Does anyone have any insights into what might cause this issue, and how I might fix the problem?
Any thoughts you may have would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance - Joe Lenart

p.s. -  I have confirmed that I can access the mirror sites using a regular browser, so I do not believe this to be a security
or firewall-related issue.
