Hi Rob

I've tried the following

cache_peer proxy.embc.org.uk parent 80 3130 no-query acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 never_direct allow all

Which were suggested by embc - the proxy organisation but squid still won't run. Have you got a simple squid.conf file I can look at? Or any other suggestions?

Thanks for your help.

Depending on how you broadband works, you may be forced to always use the parent cache.

Try these lines (obviously change the proxy tcp port to the correct one)

cache_peer the.peer.ip.address 8080 0 noquery

acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 never_direct allow all

See http://squid.visolve.com/squid24s1/glossary.htm#always_direct

Good luck,
