i have just installed my squid with http_port 192.168.0.1:3128 and my clients are 192.168.0.0/24. i have started my squid successfully and all works well.

When i browse on my client pc i can browse to any site like google.com or yahoo.com all works well with browsing but in the client pc i cannot ping google.com or yahoo.com or any site it tells me "Unknown host google.com". Meaning i can browse in the client pc google.com but i cannot ping google.com it tells me "unknown host google.com". I don't understand what is happenning. Can anybody please help me with this pleaassse. any idea or suggestions would mean so much to me. thanks very much. i'm just new in linux admin.

When you direct your request to squid, the server resolves the host
name for you? What's the resolv.conf on the client(s)?

the resolv.conf of the client has only this
statement

nameserver 192.168.0.1

thanx

And does that machine actually run bind, too?
If it doesn't, try to add the same nameserver that
the actual server uses ...


Cheers,
