R in connection with the host

Question

I installed R 3.0.2 and package KEGGREST. When using this command, I get the following error:

Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE): could not connect to the host

I can very well install the package from the Internet after using the --internet2 option, which uses proxy data from Internet Explorer.

Please, help. thanks in advance
