When i shutdown Squid i can use NNTP and have no problems, but when squid is started I can't make a NNTP connection So squid blocks the NNTP protocol.
I can assure you that Suqid does nothing of the kind.
What I can think of maybe relating to this is either
a) (unlikely) You use a web browser to connect to NNTP and this web browser has HTTP proxy support for NNTP. If this is the case then just tell your browser to not use the proxy for NNTP. HTTP proxying of NNTP is very limited in functionality and in fact not implemented at all in Squid.
b) (more likely) Maybe your script which starts Squid also sets up firewalling rules blocking NNTP access.
