[squid-users] hierarchy problerms

Hello,
        I am a college student trying to implement a
hierarchy of proxy servers as a part of a project. The
parent is at 10.0.1.1, while the child is at
10.0.2.55. While, i am configuring the child, I have
no control over the parent. (I have to give a written
application for any services from the authorities wrt
the parent) They have enabled the icp port. After my
initial configuration, the child squid started
successfully. I have kept no authentication at the
child (comments kept at all authentication
parameters), but the parent requires authentication,
it uses some microsoft module (sorry, i am still a
newbie).
        Now i have 2 problems.
First:

Whenever a browser configured to request the child
tries to access a local website (eg
http://10.0.0.222), it gets a prompt for username and
password, whose title shows 10.0.2.55 and even if i
enter the same username and passwd that i use for the
parent, it gives me an authentication error. Through
tcpdump, i found out that the child squid is not
forwarding the username and password to the parent.
The error page that the client recieves, shows that
the error is generated by the parent squid (10.0.1.1).
Also, all requests from the clients through the parent
directly are served.

Second:

Whenever a browser configured to request the child
squid tries to access a remote website (eg
www.google.com), the client does not get any prompt
for proxy username and password, and finally gives an
error, that the page is not found. If the same client
is configured to request the parent (10.0.1.1), it
gets the pages. What could be this problem?

Please help,
Thank you.
