-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The setup is as follows: * Server: An Intel box with dual NIC's running FC2, Squid 2.5.x, DansGuardian 2.8.x * Clients: 25 Intel boxes running WinXP Home * Network: 100 Mbp/s switched ethernet * All clients access the net through squid... direct access is blocked. * User authentication is enforced on squid (and it works fine with no problems). * Yahoo messenger is configured to use squid as the proxy for connecting.
The problem: Yahoo messenger works fine when I use it with an administrator account, but gives a "unable to connect, check proxy settings" error when I try to use it on a regular account. This problem is replicable on all the 25 clients. I suspect that this is a WinXP Home permission problem, but can't find anything useful on the net as a workaround [spent most of yesterday evening trying to figure it out!]. Has anyone faced similar problems with XP Home on an authenticated squid proxy network? I'd be grateful for suggestions or pointers to help rectify this problem.
