Hi, I'm having trouble getting biomaRt to connect to anything, and am pretty sure it's something to do with my proxy, which I have set via Renviron.site using: http_proxy=http://my.proxy.org:9999/ http_proxy_user=ask This seems to work fine for other things such as downloading packages from BioConductor. However, I noticed that I wasn't asked for my username & password like most other things do either. Not using a proxy didn't work either, but when I connect at home using my home ISP, everything is fine & works like a charm. Being able to connect at my University is obviously rather important though as that's where all my data is. Thanks in advance, Steve The code & error I'm getting is as follows: > library(biomaRt) > listMarts() Opening and ending tag mismatch: meta line 4 and HEAD Opening and ending tag mismatch: head line 2 and HTML Specification mandate value for attribute noshade attributes construct error Couldn't find end of Start Tag HR line 10 Opening and ending tag mismatch: BR line 9 and BODY Opening and ending tag mismatch: html line 1 and HTML Error: 1: Opening and ending tag mismatch: meta line 4 and HEAD 2: Opening and ending tag mismatch: head line 2 and HTML 3: Specification mandate value for attribute noshade 4: attributes construct error 5: Couldn't find end of Start Tag HR line 10 6: Opening and ending tag mismatch: BR line 9 and BODY 7: Opening and ending tag mismatch: html line 1 and HTML > sessionInfo() R version 2.8.0 (2008-10-20) i386-pc-mingw32 locale: LC_COLLATE=English_Australia.1252;LC_CTYPE=English_Australia.1252;LC_M ONETARY=English_Australia.1252;LC_NUMERIC=C;LC_TIME=English_Australia. 1252 attached base packages: [1] stats graphics grDevices utils datasets methods base other attached packages: [1] biomaRt_1.16.0 loaded via a namespace (and not attached): [1] RCurl_0.92-0 XML_1.99-0

Hi Steve, I'm not sure if this works different than setting Renviron.site but we used to be able to go around this by doing: Sys.putenv("http_proxy" = "http://my.proxy.org:9999") within the R session before calling any biomaRt functions.

Hi Steffen, Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately it doesn't work either, although I used Sys.setenv as Sys.putenv seems to be deprecated.
