Re: [squid-users] Slow internet navigation squid vs blue coat

Hm...
  "Connection timed out" is an OS/TCPIP issue. Can you try using
accessing the same resource from the server itself (e.g. with wget,
GET or running firefox on the proxy server).
It seems that there's something on the network level: faulty ethernet,
switch, router, firewall or network line, or high packet loss
somewhere on the path to the affected server(s).
