Re: [squid-users] transparant proxying and redirecting

An update:
When I try to access a site from my client machine (without the option to
use a proxy server in IE), I do see that the request passes the linux
gateway and is passing my router (blinking leds).
However, I do NOT see any of the access.log/cache.log/store.log files to
grow in size ...
I also see the response signal to pass my router. It looks like it gets
stuck in the linux box on its way back to the client ?
