[Rsiena-help] siena07 and network connections

[Ruth Ripley]

Nate,

I have encountered this myself and never found a fix. You do not need to 
allow access to the R process, so 'keep blocking' is OK, but I seem to 
remember that unless you have privileges you cannot even answer the 
question. But I will have another attempt to find a fix from the admin side.

I seem to remember it was OK on windows xp but not windows 7. Which 
windows do you have?

Regards,

Ruth
