I cannot get squid to work on Ubuntu 7.10.

I have a DHCP server (IP 192.168.60.254, named 'Base') set uo on the
Ubuntu box which is correctly allocating IPs in the range
192.168.60.100-192.168.60.199 on eth1.

I have eth0 connecting to my router/ADSL Modem and acquiring an IP through DHCP.

I have a laptop running XP (Home) connected to eth1 which reports the
following in response to 'ipconfig'

IP Address ..........192.168.60.199
Default Gateway....192.168.60.254

My Squid /etc/squid/squid.conf is as follows:

############### squid.conf #####################
http_port 3128 transparent

To operate transparent you need:
- squid built with --enable-linux-netfilter on ubuntu
- iptables setup with REDIRECT or DNAT properly


http_port 192.168.60:80 vhost vport=8080

So this is a webserver accelerator too?
Think about adding defaultsite= option to cope with the many broken web clients that may be accessing your server.

This port is also the cause of your problem. You are running squid as a non-privileged user. To access a special port <1024 you MUST run squid as root and let it drop down to unprivileged by itself at the right times.

##############end of cache.log #################

My Laptop cannot access the Internet, it just says "Server not found"

I have turned my firewall off with 'iptables -F'

On the Ubuntu box (Base), it will connect but occasionally it too says
"Server not found", however this is usually resolved on clicking the
"Try Again" button.

Can anyone advise me?

Please use Squid 2.6STABLE17 or 3.0STABLE1.
There are serious security advisories out on all earlier releases.
