im using squid (RH linux 9.0) in my proxy server. all our workstations, windows and linux box, are using this proxy without any problem. can u post ur configured squid.conf? (dont include the #commented text)
It all depends on how you are connecting to the internet. Squid is only a proxy server for some of the protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, Gopher and WAIS) so basically you would be using it for web access. How is your network connected to the internet since Squid will only facilitate web or FTP access ? Now if you are using "No Proxy" as a setting, Yahoo Messenger will try to connect to the internet through the default gateway. This gateway in your case could be a hardware router, a linux system acting as a router or the same system on which squid is installed. The gateway should allow your system to access the internet for Yahoo Messenger to connect to the internet. In case there is a firewall, its better to allow Yahoo to connect through HTTP Proxy since Yahoo Messenger connects to large number of different ports on Yahoo servers.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
