Hi everyone We have been using a dialup connection and squid successfully as a proxy for the past few months. However, we have just been connected to broadband (18 months later than promised) and I now need to change the squid.conf file to connect to the new service. Broadband is provided through embc (East Midlands Broadband Consortium) and we have a router on site, 10.0.12.1, which machines can use as a gateway to access the embc proxy. We have ip numbers for the embc dns and proxy but I cannot get machines on our network to connect through the squid box. When an individual client connects directly through the gateway to the embc proxy there are no login screens and internet access (filtered) is immediately available. I assume there must be some way of enabling the squid box to do the same and then proxy the internet to the rest of the machines on the network. Can anyone help? Dave Williams
Have you set up the parent cache? Check out the "never direct" option too. Robin. At 14:46 31/07/02 +0100, you wrote:

I tried the parent cache option but just got errors. I'll try and expand on this when I'm back in school (tomorrow). Thanks Dave
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, Robin.

Just to support that, that's _exactly_ what I had to do to get ours working. Give it a try... --- s-clarob@st-aidans.cumbria.sch.uk wrote: > Depending on how you broadband works, you may be

BTW, I bungled the peer line, should say parent in between the IP and tcp-port Rob. At 17:24 01/08/02 +0100, you wrote:
