Answer 1

Thank you for your question. It helped me to resolve my issue. I had to unmark the option to use the settings from the Internet Explorer and restart.

Maybe your .Renviron does not contain the proxy port, you have to write

http_proxy=http://proxy.company_domain.es:8080/
http_proxy_user=user_name:password

If you specify

http_proxy_user=ask

it should prompt you for user name and password - then you know that the file is read
