[squid-users] Connection failed error message with Squid 2.5STABLE10

Dear list,

I'm a newbie to Squid. I've installed Squid 2.5 Stable 10 on Fedora 2.
The installation went without a hitch. Then I went to test squid. I
tested in (2) ways. I ran squidclient and used the url
http://www.squid-cache.org/. I received the "alarm clock" message. The
other way I tested was I configured Internet explorer to use the server
running squid as its proxy. I tried browsing different websites but
each time received the same error message, "connection failed". Below
are more detailed error messages. I tested out squid.conf with squid -k
parse after each change. In my squid.conf I added my own acl rules of:
acl MyNetwork src 10.xx.0.0/16
http_access allow MyNetwork
http_access deny ALL

squid -N -d1
