You seem to be using Windows. I do suggest you ask local advice, as the problem is almost certainly local your site.
You may need to set a proxy -- see the rw-FAQ. You may need to set a policy to allow R through a firewall. You may need permission to download at all, and indeed the trouble you are having with your unnamed browser suggests so.
