Hi,

I'm mon webmaster/developer and I'm new in Linux. Our office suddenly needs to setup a proxy server. Ubuntu Squid proxy server immediately came as an option for us. The question is: does transparent squid proxy configuration using Ubuntu will have no problem with computers running on Windows OS?

Thanks in advance.. Sorry if this is a very noob question.

No there will be no problems with your Windows clients.

Thank you Peter.

It seems like I'm having problem with my transparent squid proxy server. I was able to configure my ubuntu server as a DHCP server but was not successful in giving Internet connection to the clients. My squid proxy and DHCP server is in the same machine.

I followed the instructions for my squid config on this article but with no success: http://www.ivankristianto.com/os/ubu...ent-proxy/648/

Below is my interfaces configuration:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1
mtu 1492

auto eth2
iface eth2 inet static
address 192.168.0.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.0.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 192.168.0.1
mtu 1492


My Router IP Address: 192.168.0.1 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

I got my dhcpd configuration in: http://www.ivankristianto.com/os/ubu...on-ubuntu/996/

DHCPD Configuration:

ddns-update-style none;

option domain-name "example.org";
option domain-name-servers ns1.example.org, ns2.example.org;

default-lease-time 600;
max-lease-time 7200;

log-facility local7;

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.200;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
option domain-name "yourdomain.com";
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;

}

Sorry for the long content. Hope this info will help you in helping me in search for solutions.

Thank you.
