connect R to the internet


A common problem I have encounterd is this
" My R instalation refuses to connect to the internet"

The answer is this:
Make a shortcut to the R program (R GUI)

In the shortcut > properties
add the line "-internet2" without the quotes as shown at the end (now R will take the proxy information from the Internet explorer and connect to the internet).

Now click on the shortcut and you can update / instal new packages (select Denmark from the list of repos)
Good R analysis
