Check the pinger is installed with root owner and Squid run as root. that should fix the IPv4 ICMP socket access. We are still trying to track down exactly what is going wrong with the IPv6 socket. > Is this important ? medium-low. ICMP is one if the ways Squid selects fast peers. So its importance depends on whether you use peers or not, and whether ICMP is enabled on your network (pinger uses ICMP echo). Amos
