if I read you correctly, you are using our daily builds (or the SVN version), 
and you see this problem after updating, recently?

The most prominent change in the development version is that GUI frontend and 
R backend now run in two separate processes (which fixes the rJava-issue, you 
reported, among other things). So one possible cause I can think of is that 
the NO_PROXY environment variable is set for one, but not for the other 
process. Environment variables set before starting RKWard should be available 
to both processes, but environment variables set from R, afterwards, will only 
affect the backend side. How / where do you set NO_PROXY? Does it work, if you 
start RKWard as 
  NO_PROXY="127.0.0.1" rkward

If it doesn't, what is the output of
  .rk.getHelpBaseUrl()
run in the R Console of rkward? If you enter that url in a separate browser, 
can you connect (you'll only see a message that this path is not allowed, but 
still)?

Regards
Thomas
