The 192.168.25.60 is a windows machine that answers everyone. 2. Also, I am confuse because the always_direct seems to affect the whole proxy behavior. If i browse to other sites/hosts eg www.cnn.com, it times out nonetheless. I reckon it should timeout only when i connect to 192.168.25.60, no? kind regards -botp proxy version: squid 2.5stable10 parent version: squid 2.5stable9 # #Regards #Henrik #
