Well the good news is that I am no longer getting the "The requested URL could not be retrieved: invalid url" error. The bad news is that I am no longer getting any response at all. I must admit that this is probably the singlemost frustrating piece of software I have ever tried to get to work. I have been working on this since the 7th of January when I promised my client I would have his proxy server up and running and I am no nearer resolving it. I find it very hard to believe that anyone can get it to run at all and the suspicion is dawning that this whole project is a huge elaborate hoax designed to generate light relief for bored BOFHs. I do not consider myself to be a newbie, having used linux for some eight or nin years. Nor is my requirement particularly complex: I have simply set up a computer, bought especially for the purpose, with 2 NICs one of which (eth1) is running as a DHCP server and the other (eth0).
