First make sure you have squid installed and running. If it's on your local machine then just say: netstat -an | grep LISTEN and make sure it's listening. Examine the top of the /etc/squid/squid.conf file to find out what port it will be using. The squid server's hostname is the machine it's running on. If that's your machine you can also use "localhost", which is (imperceptibly) faster. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 cs@zip.com.au http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ Swords on armor ring, making spirits bright, What fun it is to laugh and sing a slaying song tonight! - Curt Howland "Ace" DoD#0663 EGFC#011 EFF#569 howland@Priss.com '82 V45 Sabre -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
