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
