Congratulations :-)
have changed the following lines n my squid.conf file

Well, Darren. The obvious thing here is that your "acl" consists of a single line domain-name, rather than a file containing the line you have above. While there is nothing wrong in doing this, it does make life more difficult when you come to add more sites into your restricted ACL list, should you wish to create on. I'm now 19, and it was only last year that I set up two proxy servers at a school in Dorset (Im now at University). The obvious reason as to why nothing works, is that I don't think that you can have an ACL name, as the same name as a domain that you are trying to access. So, my solution would be to try the following: ---------------snip here--------------------- acl valid_clients src 192.168.1.0/24 http_access allow valid_clients http_access deny !valid_clients -----------------end snip--------------------- The "http_access deny !valid_clients" says that if anyother machine that is not within the ACL "valid_clients" (in this case an IP address range), to simply disallow access on the internet. If I can be of any other help, let me know. -- Thomas Adam ===== Thomas Adam "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- www.linuxgazette.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
