Transparent squid works as normal proxy - help please


First of all hello to all of you out there, its been a while since my last post.

I'm here again to ask for help on a transparent proxy in Fedora Core 8,Squid 2.6 stable 17.

I have recently installed Fedora 8 and update whit yum. After it finish i begin to configure all. So lest go to the details

have a LAN network 192.168.1.0/24, a internet connection whit a public IP. The idea is to make a server for the LAN, transparent squid to serve internet to the LAN. This server have also to work as a http, mail, ftp, dns... and more service that are used today, but as a start just that

So, i got a AMD athlon 64x 3.0Ghz whit 2Gb of RAM and a HD of 120 GB. Two nicks to connect the lan an internet.

I have configured the lan, all works from the lan clients to the server, and from the server to the lan clients. set up the squid as a transparent proxy and set the rules in iptables for the redirection and the use for http, dns, etc..

The problem is that the server have correct connection to the internet, but the clients don't. Fisrt of all, the squid isn't working as a transparent proxy. So i have put manually the proxy in the firefox of hte clients. Then it works for some pages and service but not for all. Example: it opens hotmail,google,yahoo, but not gmail, messenger and others. Also from the LAN clients i can ping to the server, the ext_dev an the int_dev and the gateway of the server to the internet, but not to some page like google.com

So please, if someone can help me to make it work as transparent proxy and for all traffic (messenger, gmail..) my config so far are this:

generally looks ok there, what does wireshark or tcpdump say about the packets? you should be able to see the packet twice, once before redirection, once after (i think). I would wonder though about the fact that squid is only listening on the external ip address, not loopback too. that could be causing an issue in terms of where the redirect sends it to.

acid_kewpie, thanks, problem solve. the error was that i forguet to change the config of the file named.conf after the installation. In the instalation i put the ip 192.168.1.1, so the named.conf was listening on that ip, but after some consideration i change it to 192.168.1.254. sorry for my stupidity
