Hello everyone I am prototyping a squid box at home before installing it at school. I made 1 change to squid.conf to allow access, used wvdial and then pointed my client's browser to 172.19.50.2:3128. Well it sort of works but I initially get errors along the lines of "Unable to determine IP address from host name for www.etc....." and "The dnsserver returned- Name server unavailable" If I browse on the server with Netscape I eventually access the Internet/cache on the client. I have seen references in this group to "named" which is not running on my box. When is "named" needed and do I need any other changes for resolving to work reliably. When all this works well I will need to use it with a router which accesses the LEA proxy server. This has an authentication process based on IGear software. Anyone any experience with this and knowledge about how I can get squid to talk to it. Thanks Dave Williams
