Hi Reid,

Do the timeouts in your web browser give any indication related to your
Squid proxy server?

Why are you running Squid in 4 different ports? Anyway, try removing all
entries except:

http_port 3128

Are you sure that you have allowed localhost and your network to access
your proxy in your squid.conf?

Please post your squid.conf.

Transparent proxy refers to the term where the client does not have to
manually put a proxy server to use it. Every web requests on port 80
will be redirected to Squid's port.

If you indeed have some firewall running in your proxy server, run:

/sbin/iptables -vnL

Then initialize your cache by: squid -z

After initializing your cache, run: squid -NCd1
Make sure there are no errors!

 From another terminal of your proxy server, run: telnet localhost 3128

If that works, telnet from another workstation: telnet IP.Of.Proxy 3128

Hope everything works fine!

Thanking you...
