problem with installing R pacakges

Dear R- Users,

I am unable to install R packages over the internet. Below is my session
information. My guess is that this may be
a proxy issue. I have set the http_proxy_user : my user id(network id) :
password (machine password) .

The error I get is as below

> install.packages("MASS")
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://ftp.iitm.ac.in/cran/bin/windows/contrib/2.15
Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/RWin/bin/windows/contrib/2.15
Warning message:
package ‘MASS’ is not available (for R version 2.15.1)

Below is my session info. I searched in the archives but was not able to
find the issue. Please excuse me if this
is a repost.

Maybe not correctly?

Please see what the R for Windows FAQs say about using proxies. If that 
does not help, ask your local sysadmin. We cannot help.

Dear Uwe,

I will enter the correct user::password values and try again. As per your
suggestion I will contact the local sysadmin
if required.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Kishor
