ping www.google.com from the box itself worked while Firefox on my PC wasn't able to get to Google's home page. Haven't tried accessing www.google.com via HTTP from the squid box, though (it's a command-line only box). Will try next time, though (perhaps with wget or lynx/links...) Thanks for the hint.
wget and curl are fine. You can also use telnet or nc to verify basic port 80 connectivity. "nc IP PORT -v" should do the trick. Eliezer
