Request to BioMart web service failed

Question

[Parham]

I am trying to build a transcriptDB but I get a problem.

> txdb <- makeTranscriptDbFromBiomart(biomart="fungi_mart_22", dataset="spombe_eg_gene", host="fungi_.ensembl.org")
Request to BioMart web service failed. Verify if you are still connected to the internet. Alternatively the BioMart web service is temporarily down. Check http://www.biomart.org and verify if this website is available.
Error: XML content does not seem to be XML:

I am connected to internet and I can open the webpage in browser.

Please give me detailed help since I am new to Biostars and cannot post much in a day to discuss.

Thanks!

Host should be fungi.ensembl.org, not fungi_.ensembl.org
