I assume you have correct proxy setting in your browser.

To me it sounds like the Squid is not running. I am not familiar with IPCop 
so I can just guess. If you can login then try a "ps ax | grep squid" and 
see if you have any running instances of Squid. If you do then it's 
probably a network problem. If you do not then you may want to look at the 
cache.log (probably somewhere near /var/log/squid/cache.log) - there is 
likely more information why it couldn't start up.

Also see if you can run "/usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth /etc/squid/proxy_users"
on the console.
