I have two independent boxes inbehind an off the shelf router. They both are connected to each other and the internet through eth0 with each assigned one IP (I have preassigned for simplicity). One box is run with WinXP and this box with Linux. The Linux box can see the XP (still have to figure out the XP to Linux side) can get on the internet no prob, so my IP is fine. The problem I am having is that there are so many sites dealing with so many ways of setting up squid that as a newbie I have no way of deciphering what applys to me and what does not. Hope that is enough info.
