I guess this has something to do with the IE setting:
I use SQUID on a linux machine as proxy and when I configure my WIN2K3 server (on another machine) to use squid proxy on the port 3128, it works fine. But when I tried to configure the proxy setting on another windows 2000 client using IE6 (upgraded from IE5) it doesn't work!
I was reading through some articles from google group and I think the default IE5 setting might cause this problem. Anyone can help? Many thanks!
are u getting an 'access denied' from squid or just the "web page not found"?

I know this isn't the solution you asked for, but I have had no problems with this using my own solution. I set squid up to work as a transparent proxy, and all the configuration that is needed on the client computers is to set the default gateway to the squid machine. There are many howto's about this subject, and one of them is here (http://corporate.linux.com/howtos/TransparentProxy.shtml).

Thank you for the reply.
Just not getting any response. I can't find any records on the access.log file so I am doubting whether it is actually connected to the proxy.
But what's weird is that my win2k3 machine hasn't got any problem at all! So I guess that the default setting of old IE5 (since I upgraded to IE6 on the win2000 machine from IE5) caused the problem.

Yes. Can I ask what Internet browser you are using on your clients' machines?

Currently, I'm using the latest version of IE on windows 2000, as well as Mozilla Firebird on Windows 2000 and Linux. I've also used it on Win 98, and I've had people over using XP that have had success, too. They were also using IE. I also occasionally use lynx (text mode browser), and konqueror in linux.

Wait...the link that you provided was really helpful. I followed its configuration and it worked!
Thank you very much for your help!
