By default the SQUID2 STABLE 4.0 allows only the localhost in the acl's
("access control list)
do as i tell u.
cd /etc/squid/
vi squid.conf
{ put the following lines where u find "acl" entries
acl allowed_host your_ip/netmask
}
and then find "html_access"
nd put the following lines
befor the line "html_access deny all"
html_access allow allowed_host.
Point two) also check that squid is running.
Normally what happens is that if squid is not able to get the DNS ( norrmally
given as the DNS of VSNL) it does not start.
so if u have given the DNS of VSNL and started squid when u r nit connected it
would not star.
restart squid when u connect.
or edit the script "/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid in that there is given u have to
start squid with the -D option.
Its simple try it.
Honestly I have tried to make it as complicated as possible.
