[squid-users] Squid not working for me

From: Dave Coventry <dgcoventry@dont-contact.us>

I cannot get squid to work on Ubuntu 7.10.

I have a DHCP server (IP 192.168.60.254, named 'Base') set uo on the
Ubuntu box which is correctly allocating IPs in the range
192.168.60.100-192.168.60.199 on eth1.

I have eth0 connecting to my router/ADSL Modem and acquiring an IP through DHCP.

I have a laptop running XP (Home) connected to eth1 which reports the
following in response to 'ipconfig'

IP Address ..........192.168.60.199
Default Gateway....192.168.60.254

My Squid /etc/squid/squid.conf is as follows:

My Laptop cannot access the Internet, it just says "Server not found"

I have turned my firewall off with 'iptables -F'

On the Ubuntu box (Base), it will connect but occasionally it too says
"Server not found", however this is usually resolved on clicking the
"Try Again" button.

Can anyone advise me?
