Dear All, I thought that this would have been straight forward. In an Ubuntu machine, I use proxy 172.16.101.3 as the proxy for browsing. This does not require any user name or password for access. I installed squid3 in this machine and set 127.0.0.1:3128 as proxy in the browser. Also in the squid.conf file I have put, cache_peer 127.0.0.1 parent 3128 3130 default Now when I try to browse, nothing happens. That is, the browser says connecting or some such, and after a very long time it fails to open the page. No error message has been found in the log files. I am really at a loss what to do. Could somebody please tell me what to do. Thanks in advance.
