Difficult to tell. Which version of squid is involved ? On which platform/os/version ? Which browser is used on XP + version ? Possible things to look at could be persistent connection setting in squid.conf and or browser but this is a wild shot. Check cache.log on squid for problem info,etc. M. > > ----------------------------------------------- > Tom Rule > Co-Technology De-confusionating Guru > Mount de Sales Academy > Macon, GA > www.mds.macon.ga.us/~trule > www.mp3.com/tomco The Band > www.mp3.com/trule The Normal Stuff > www.mp3.com/tomex The Experimental Stuff > ------------------------------------------------ -- 'Time is a consequence of Matter thus General Relativity is a direct consequence of QM (M.E.
