I seem to recall that if you had your networking set up properly in the first place, Squid could work out what your hostname is for itself. Though you could specifically set it in the Squid configuration file (necessary for machine with several hostnames, and you didn't want to use the default). Brute force approach: Open the squid configuration file in an editor, and search through it for "name", read the comments nearby. You'll find the place where you can set it soon enough. But is your hosts file set up correctly? You should have something like: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.2 mymachine.example.com mymachine Where the second line is written to be applicable to your machine, rather than my example (using your IP, your fully-qualified domain, and your hostname). The first line should, generally, be left as I've shown it, and not adorned with local machine names, as well. Though, if like me, you use a DNS server, you don't have to do anything with your hosts file, just ensure your DNS server is configured correctly. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
