Hi Adam, Like I mentioned yesterday I got my squid 2.5 running on IPCop. Took awhile to figure out the new configuration and I finally got it up & running. Thanks so very much for all your inputs. Couldn't have done it without them.
I found that with the new Squid, I have partial success with regards to my original problem. (Recap: As an unprivileged user on Windows XP/2K, I was able to browse the net via proxy, but couldn't use Yahoo & MSN messengers via proxy.) I am able to successfully use MSN messenger with the new proxy. But I still have the same problem with yahoo messenger. I was just wondering: MSN allows you to specify user-authentication (user/password/realm) in its sign-in options whereas yahoo doesn't. Do you think that could be the reason why yahoo fails to connect me through? And how do I get around it?
