Well. These are part of the basics needed to get a networked computer
running.
You said you already had Squid running and in use. That makes us assume
you know these basics already, but haven't mentioned them.
What line in the conf file specifies that?
each browser has its own way of proxy settings.
Many of them support "system proxy settings".
I am talking here about the squid conf file not the browser's and I
Squid is normally just configured with an "http_port 3128" or similar to
receive traffic.
There *might* be an IP address there as well, or a hostname. But usually
not. It is the network DHCP or machines network interface which
determines the IP address Squid gets to use.
am asking because I have reasons to be believe something fishy to be
going on with the computer I expose to the Internet.
Aha. Finally an indication of what the real situation is. Its REALLY
hard to help people who leave out important details all the time.
