Configuring Squid

[Romulo Sousa <romulosousa@gmail.com>]

Hi there,

I'm trying to configuring my squid of my home's box. I've read some
howto's but I can't acess it from my job (though I can ping my box
from it). I tried to access the internet using my little proxy but the
following error "The URL could not be retrieved".
Is there any reason specifically for this error? Further, I just
configured the port (default: 3128) and the hostname
(myhostname.homelinux.net). Then, I restarted the service.
Is there anything I should do basically to make my squid works? --
let's say..."pure" with no firewall rules yet.

Thanks a lot,
