static IP := 192.168.1.190
network mask := 255.255.255.0

Hi..

You actually don't require squid.conf to run internet on windows m/c. Simply enable IP forwarding and SNAT on your Linux m/c. You can use 'iptables' for that. One more thing you need to use linux m/c IP as a gateway IP for your windows m/c. I hope this will help..

Hi..

For enabling IP forwarding simply open the file '/etc/sysctl.conf' and locate the option 'net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0'. Here change the value 0 to 1.

About NATing you can us the following command...

Quote:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.x.x/24 -j MASQUERADE

After doing all this you need to change the default gateway of your win m/c poining to your linux m/c ip.
