Correct me if I'm wrong Michael. You can get out to the internet with a normal user as long as that user is using the squid proxy? If they aren't using the squid proxy then they can't get out to the internet? If both of my statements are correct then your problem is with how Squid has been configured not anything else. Are you sure that you don't also have a firewall installed as well? > ping www.google.com returns unknown host When logged in with a non-root user and that user isn't using the squid proxy can you ping by ip address? I would try this first. 1) Can you ping the name servers in "/ect/resolv.conf" ? Are those public ip's or private ip's? 2) From the command line try "ping 216.239.53.99" 3) Then in your web browser put "http://216.239.53.99"; Let us know what your results are.
