Hi guys,  I am not sure how to reply to a thread, so I hope Chris Barnes can see this message.  I would like to thank him for his prompt reply and help.  I will have a look at the suggestions to see if they fix the problems. 
 
Just some more info, (in case it helps with more suggestions). 
 
* We originally had RH5.2, on a P120 with 2 10Mb NICS,  which has been happily working away for about 4 years.  We have updated the hardware, so I thought I would update the OS.  (The original box was set up by someone else who is no longer involved in this area).  The orignal squid was V1.1.  I tried to use the same settings from that squid.conf but the new version has major changes
* The network setup is an internal network with the 192.168.5.x addresses.  These go through the squid/proxy linx box to a router.  The router then goes to an ISP
* The email server is another linux box on the other side of the squid server
* The pinging is happening from inside the network
* The DNS question .. I read the squid manual and it states that it no longer uses an external DNS program, but it is internal.  Therefore, I have done nothing with any DNS servers  (Am I wrong in this).  If I point the line is the squid,conf file to the external DNS program it complains that it cant find it.
 
Again, thanks for your help.
 
Cheers
Chrisj
