Yes it's windows (vista). It's not a specific package. I've tried more than
a CRAN mirror and the message it's always date (the list with the packages
simply doesn't appear).
What proxy settings should I verify specifically (sorry I don't know a lot
on informatics)? I've installed a few packages before this and I never had
such a message.

Thanks
