i expect to be going via the proxy, and get squids error pages... but trying to access a site outside the network (connection not setup yet), I get the normal "Netscape windows error - server down"

What am i doing wrong.

While the error is, er, developing, can you do a netstat -an on both the relevant boxes to show what is actually happening, that might help..... -- Nick Drage, helping fill up the internet since 1993. 'It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.' Emiliano Zapata (Deceased)

This ought to work assuming that this is the IP of the Suse proxy. Can you browse direct from the proxy (using lynx if you haven't setup X yet)? It might just be a routing / networking issue.

Commented out the line... http_access deny all Added the line... http_access allow all - not sure of the effect of this as I've been busy elsewhere but it works.

Don't forget this bit if you are using squid2. :) _____________________________________ Giles Nunn - Network Manager Carms Schools ICT Development Centre Tel: +44 01239 710662 Fax: 710985 ____________________________________
