I'll be brief and start by telling you that I can't really say that I totally understand what I'm trying to do -- I've read and read and READ instructions, how-to's, FAQs ... so if I don't give you all the information, please tell me how to find what else I need.  I'm surely missing the big picture here.
Squid 2.2.STABLE4 runs as a process under RH6.1  My Win95 workstations access the Internet through it.  But ... the cache.log tells me, among other things:
helperOpen Servers: Starting 5 "dnsserver" processes
Unlinked pipe opened on FD 10
........ <snip>
Loaded icons.
commBind:  Cannot bind socket FD 33 to *:3128 (98) Address already in use
FATAL:  Cannot open HTTP Port
Squid cache (Version 2.2.STABLE4): Terminated abnormally
The workstations were still accessing the Internet an hour after the time-stamp on the log.
It's difficult for me to even know where to start asking questions -- how about:  If squid cache terminated, is there another part of squid still functioning that is acting as a transparent proxy for the Win95 workstations?  Or have I somehow given them a different way through?  (Workstations are on a "private" 10.1.1.0 network on a WinNT domain.  Another difficulty for me is deciphering what should be done with them ... they use Win NT DHCP, but I don't think this server even needs to know who they are, if I define them as "ourhosts" in acl by IP address, right?)
Linux system has two NICs, one connected to the router/csu/dsu, and one to the internal network.  
Any thoughts/explanations that anyone has would be gratefully received.  (This is such a learning experience.)
