Dear Anna ! I have the same problem with Window 7 - 64 bits. If I use R 2.12.2 with snow packages 0.3-3. It works well. But with R 2.13.0 with the same snow packages. It just hang. I start R (Run as administrator), turn off firewall ... But it seems R .13.0 version of socket connect to window has been changed ??? That 's my experience so far.
