I cannot get squid to work on Ubuntu 7.10. I have a DHCP server (IP 192.168.60.254, named 'Base') set uo on the Ubuntu box which is correctly allocating IPs in the range 192.168.60.100-192.168.60.199 on eth1. I have eth0 connecting to my router/ADSL Modem and acquiring an IP through DHCP. I have a laptop running XP (Home) connected to eth1 which reports the following in response to 'ipconfig' IP Address ..........192.168.60.199 Default Gateway....192.168.60.254 My Squid /etc/squid/squid.conf is as follows: ############### squid.conf ##################### http_port 3128 transparent http_port 192.168.60:80 vhost vport=8080 hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? cache deny QUERY acl apache rep_header Server ^Apache access_log /var/log/squid/access.log squid refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 refresh_pattern . 0 20% 4320 acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl IQNetwork src 192.168.60.0/255.255.255.0 acl manager proto cache_object acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 acl SSL_ports port 443 # https acl SSL_ports port 563 # snews acl SSL_ports port 873 # rsync acl Safe_ports port 80 # http acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp acl Safe_ports port 443 # https acl Safe_ports port 70 # gopher acl Safe_ports port 210 # wais acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 # unregistered ports acl Safe_ports port 280 # http-mgmt acl Safe_ports port 488 # gss-http acl Safe_ports port 591 # filemaker acl Safe_ports port 777 # multiling http acl Safe_ports port 631 # cups acl Safe_ports port 873 # rsync acl Safe_ports port 901 # SWAT acl purge method PURGE acl CONNECT method CONNECT http_access allow IQNetwork http_access allow manager localhost http_access deny manager http_access allow purge localhost http_access deny purge http_access deny !Safe_ports http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports http_access allow localhost http_access deny all icp_access allow all cache_effective_user squid cache_effective_group squid visible_hostname Base ############ end of squid.conf ################## My /var/log/squid/cache.log looks like this: ################ cache.log ################## 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Starting Squid Cache version 2.6.STABLE14 for i386-debian-linux-gnu... 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Process ID 8698 2008/01/04 20:13:48| With 1024 file descriptors available 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Using epoll for the IO loop 2008/01/04 20:13:48| DNS Socket created at 0.0.0.0, port 32868, FD 6 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Adding nameserver 192.168.1.254 from /etc/resolv.conf 2008/01/04 20:13:48| User-Agent logging is disabled. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Referer logging is disabled. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Unlinkd pipe opened on FD 11 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Swap maxSize 102400 KB, estimated 7876 objects 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Target number of buckets: 393 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Using 8192 Store buckets 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Max Mem size: 8192 KB 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Max Swap size: 102400 KB 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Local cache digest enabled; rebuild/rewrite every 3600/3600 sec 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Rebuilding storage in /var/spool/squid (CLEAN) 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Using Least Load store dir selection 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Current Directory is / 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Loaded Icons. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Accepting transparently proxied HTTP connections at 0.0.0.0, port 3128, FD 13. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| commBind: Cannot bind socket FD 14 to 192.168.0.60:80: (99) Cannot assign requested address 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Accepting ICP messages at 0.0.0.0, port 3130, FD 14. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| HTCP Disabled. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| WCCP Disabled. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Ready to serve requests. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Done reading /var/spool/squid swaplog (0 entries) 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Finished rebuilding storage from disk. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| 0 Entries scanned 2008/01/04 20:13:48| 0 Invalid entries. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| 0 With invalid flags. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| 0 Objects loaded. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| 0 Objects expired. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| 0 Objects cancelled. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| 0 Duplicate URLs purged. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| 0 Swapfile clashes avoided. 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Took 0.3 seconds ( 0.0 objects/sec). 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Beginning Validation Procedure 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Completed Validation Procedure 2008/01/04 20:13:48| Validated 0 Entries 2008/01/04 20:13:48| store_swap_size = 0k 2008/01/04 20:13:49| storeLateRelease: released 0 objects 2008/01/04 21:09:28| Preparing for shutdown after 0 requests 2008/01/04 21:09:28| Waiting 30 seconds for active connections to finish 2008/01/04 21:09:28| FD 13 Closing HTTP connection 2008/01/04 21:09:28| Shutting down... 2008/01/04 21:09:28| FD 14 Closing ICP connection 2008/01/04 21:09:28| Closing unlinkd pipe on FD 11 2008/01/04 21:09:28| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting... 2008/01/04 21:09:28| Finished.

Can anyone advise me?
