This is another installment in the extensive series "Dave displays his ignorance". I can set up a box with Squid at home which other clients can access. I use wvdial to establish Internet access via a modem on the Linus box. However, what I really want to do is enable Squid at school but I don't understand how I tell Squid where to get it's Internet access. All other machines go through a gateway (a cisco router 172.19.50.1) and then to an LEA proxy 192.168.2.253:80. The login to the proxy is via Igear software. I've looked through squid.conf but can find nothing very relevant. As part of my playing around I thought that if I establish an Internet connection on the Linux machine by surfing with Netscape then Squid may get the necessary links established. However, my installation of Netscape (from SuSE 7.0) has no option to set a proxy address - it should be in Edit-Preferences-Advanced but it isn't. Dave Williams
