If that x.x.x.x is anything else than 0.0.0.0 (which I assume it is as
you replaced it by x.x.x.x) then there can only be two reasons:

a) You are using Squid-2.4 or earlier and have tcp_incoming_address
specified in squid.conf.

b) You are using Squid-2.5 or later and have specified an address to
http_port.

If you are unsure you can verify the address bound to by running
"netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep :8080"
