I sure have looked. The problem is many people describe the problem in
different ways, so searching was hard. Thanks for the settings. I will
try these out. I DON NOT M$ to win this one. I'm trying to decommission
2 M$ Proxy servers.

Use http_access to turn off authentication for a single client IP. Test

fine.

Check the following settings in squid.conf (in [] is default setting)

half_closed_clients [on] - If off, try turning on request_timeout [5
minutes] - Try increasing persistent_request_timeout [1 minute] - - Try
increasing

Have you searched the mailing list archives and/or the web?
