Well I've just tried it with Iptables/Firestarter turned off + cold
restart - and still the same thing. I can't work out what to do with my
wireless router firewall (to be honest firewalls are a bit of a "black
art" as far as I am concerned) but all references to LAN are
192.168.123.xxx as far as I can see.

Both cache_effective_user and cache_effective_group in squid.conf are
set to "squid". Every file I can think of that is even remotely
connected with squidGuard is set to chown squid.squid.

Squid is started automatically in runlevel 5. If I start it myself I use
the command:
/sbin/service squid start (or stop, or restart)
as root.

Any ideas?
