We were talking about local sshing... right? Why would you forward, how, and from where to where? Are you talking about ssh from the Internet to the local network, through the firewall? I did ask if local ssh was working... Is it? If you go on a local machine and try to ssh to another local machine, does it work? > Do you see what I mean even though I do specify the port number > of the machine which in this case is the port 2224 > But I get the error message replying with the Squid's port number 2222, > and that is regardless from which machine I am trying to send the SSH request No, I don't understand how this squid server would magicaly capture all the packets... If from machine A I try to ssh to machine B, the packet will go to machine B directly. Unless I am wrong, it will only go through the gateway if the target IP network is different. We still miss information, like routing, forwarding rules, etc... try to follow the packets routes. Maybe you will need to look at tcpdumps... JD
