I tried the plugin at home (linux) and it worked flawlesly.

At work (windows) I was guesing is just a proxy problem. I remembered
that for R I had to modifiy the direct access to the program in the
desktop, starting R with the flag --internet2. Apparently, this causes
R using IE proxy internals, otherwise R cannot connect to CRAN servers

"C:\Archivos de programa\R\R-2.15.2\bin\i386\Rgui.exe" --internet2

I guess that the same problem must apply in RKWard.

Best regards.
