Dear all I am in a panic situation. I have configured squid with Diskd to use as a transparent proxy following are the lines I used to support it for transparent proxy. Httpd_accel_host virtual httpd_accel_port 80 httpd_accel_with_proxy on httpd_accel_uses_host_header on the squid is running on port 3128, and my machine has two network cards. eth0 has the ip 192.168.0.29 and the eth1 has the live ip. I have made some of the rules in /etc/rc.local to forward the request to port 80. This is my rc.local touch /var/lock/subsys/local ulimit -n 8192 echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -j MASQUERADE iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -i eth0 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.29:3128 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p udp -j MASQUERADE the dns is also running on the same machine. On the client end I have giving 192.168.0.29 as gateway and 192.168.0.29 as dns. I am surprised but my browser takes a lot of time around 4 to 5 minutes; l use IE if I try to open www.hotmail.com it displayes "opening page http://WWW.www.hotmail.com.net"; then it redirects to auto search. And then says internet explorer cannot display the search page. If I turn on the iptables with the above rules. My browser connects if I give it the proxy server as 192.168.0.29 with port 80. I have tried to reconsider every thing which I can. Urgent help is needed. Thanx a million in advance Kind Regards M Bilal Ahmad Astt manager Communications Naveena Group I am using fedora cora2
