Hi,
I have a Redhat Linux 9 server setup. I've configured Shorewall firewall as the main firewall and I've also setup Squid so that I can ban particular words and sites. I need to setup the proxy server so that it is automatically detected by the client PC. We're running a mixture of Windows 98 to XP Pro PC's I've followed the command; iptables -t nat -D PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 The PC's on the network automatically detect the proxy server, BUT they get the following text displayed; ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While trying to retrieve the URL: / The following error was encountered: Invalid URL Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems: Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://'' or similar) Missing hostname Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed Your cache administrator is root. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generated Wed, 22 Oct 2003 09:10:46 GMT by WELPROXY (squid/2.5.STABLE1) I'm trying a whole host of websites (www.sky.com/news, www.ananova.com, etc) Can anybody offer any advice on how to get round this? Cheers Steve
