I think it is your net-connection problem. It is working fine in my system :

> from.dat <- as.Date("01/01/08", format="%m/%d/%y")
> to.dat <- as.Date("02/19/09", format="%m/%d/%y")
> 
> getSymbols("GE", src="yahoo", from = from.dat, to = to.dat) 
[1] "GE"
> Sys.info()
                     sysname                      release                     
version 
                   "Windows"                      "Vista" "build 6002,
Service Pack 2" 
                    nodename                      machine                       
login 
                      "ARUN"                        "x86"                   
"Arrun's" 
                        user 
                   "Arrun's"
