Hi Installed squid 2.7 on our Windows Xp machine, connected to our DMZ zone firewall, configured the firewall to point to proxy webserver (squid) Ip address and port 3128. Our internet line is filtered by our ISP which they use a proxy also. Our XP clients machines in our internal Windows 2003 server network tries to login to hotmail but we get this error: While trying to process the request: GET /default.aspx?n=1641570119&wa=wsignin1.0 HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-gb UA-CPU: x86 Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; T312461; Q312461; InfoPath.1; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Host: mail.live.com Connection: Keep-Alive Cookie: MUID=9B7E2A9D963B4134BA0678B2B1153D98; wlidperf=throughput=4&latency=828&FR=L&ST=1232423228769; ck-9C1EBE25BAD77817=633679144877238362; mktstate=S=-1074279018&U=&E=&P=&B=en-gb; mkt1=norm=en-gb; BS=Downlevel=0&WinIEOnly=1&MSIEVersion=7.0&Win=1&Firefox=0&Safari=0; s_cc=true; s_sq=%5B%5BB%5D%5D; PPLState=1; RPSTAuth=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; MSPAuth=2SWsFvYtEG6k*VyvI3RpzLQsBX9MCLto*fqeinnn8*tB0h2k4aZpg3RVwuqznOYkrwvI7Nt5WhbUmRc!jP!IWOO9wNNwseR6nGuEyWsyaqC9hFnU5jVo7xvISiPk0CHArH; MSPProf=2jXqBY6NQAzxmnVtZm8HVBDY!8ubW6PmTIcRgPWzQj1yAHoxt7VJICQOEXKtU4A7fT9*M42DrCq*VwUdVU2QyFYSbPIDuG1C!sVs0PT!cI4xNo0AgyICd1ZAMGI25V*4TbVATwEBiVX*OcEvpRKdDz75hEvalmjaZluPjYwtTv1yLCNYbB4F9hOA$$; MSNPPAuth=B00lNX5L7rOnG8IiwCjkcNn3piUilxvIyqSisF6g3sUZWy8Uv*Ax*Dar4Yw2f0bxAyRDZC8VZAwrwBskv29Ebr3wLsi!ysq1856MH3i5EbX4F4sAuw347I9JcPPOp2jgo44vEHgAOih1QM5BVrUgLhqQmm4p3L2ogDZUmTNbHpEiLTigq9!fMA5tiOKp0uZjfRlTTBwWI0JySq5eYLjqZJcOEzfs1adxqZjf1YTtGPlkBY!Cpv4cuUmzNIBcpFwaKLpwBuxDbuCIuZq20qJ2wvEYlnIausAEu6mkXw7j2mjJxa3qleOuWhex*uQAxgsaPBz4OrEPfb8P!GfsVA4DOY92RSGdMJHJDD!9!EqfNYrWrwxSJ1N*dGlwwW6akw*SAwwQ44o1b8BciMWMHzvv4XJfha0*d0fJValQt18Jeah*ZL3Nq3gP!fJMsdlInjIYXADHsuzd6cZmVqYBkpKzNPZMlRZN; MH=MSFT; NAP=V=1.8&E=790&C=WeZsW1EOBJSAx8AaN4peWrC47gOFvtZWVGU069nvrAXoeXZPRTX27g&W=1; ANON=A=208E92978701E5887161FB82FFFFFFFF&E=7ea&W=1 The following error was encountered: Invalid Request Some aspect of the HTTP Request is invalid.

It's ok if I don't go through the proxy.
