Hi I have installed squid 2.5 running stable and well. Have been using without trouble. I have since attempted to use proxy_auth and have run into trouble. I have read all the tutorials I can find and many mailing list answers but none seem to help. My scenario has offsite users connecting to my squid proxy. I wish to use proxy_auth to restrict external proxy access. All other programs such as webmin are installed and workin correctly. Please advise as to where my mistake lies. Forgive me if my message is not in the correct style.

The client browsers are IE6 and have fixed them as per the squid FAQ. Any help appreciated! -Jonathan
