If you bypass squid (turn off the squid, change your firewall to allow HTTP through, and reconfigure and restart Internet explorer) maybe on one PC, does the Internet work again?
I ask because I had the similar problems on my network with Windows XP. It turns out that on my DHCP server, it was giving dead DNS server addresses to clients (Windows gets its DNS information from the DHCP server). If you have a Linux server look in /etc/resolv.conf, on a Windows server look in Control Panel/Network. Then try to PING DNS server that's listed there. If the ping dies, then the DNS server is dead. Another way to test this is to take one Windows 98 client where the Internet does not work. Go into Control Panel, Network and assign a STATIC IP address (for example 192.168.1.180) and a STATIC DNS server, and your firewall server as the gateway (may be 192.168.1.1). Now test out the Internet. Does it work? If it works now, then you need to fix your DNS pointers on your server. Good luck. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: July 14, 2004 5:10 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [squid-users] Re: Client can't connect but No log Thank for advice. Our user use windows98se and Internet Explorer 6.0 sp1. Because Company policy, We use win98se. After setting, IE and squid work good. After some hours or days, suddenly IE can't connect Internet via squid. Message is "Can't found page.

Please specify which browser you are using and if the proxy settings are correct. Note : Internet explorer needs to be restarted for proxy settings to take effect.
