Can somebody peruse the following and suggest why the windoze xp clients on my lan cannot access the internet.

[root@matrix root]# /etc/init.d/squid start

This is just a thought, I know this thread is 2 months old. I didn't think you could specify a range like this-- I thought you could just do a netmask, like 10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0 ?

one would bet that the acl may be functioning..
and the windows boxes are in the 10.0.0.51-254 range.

the "masks away error is crying about the parodox in the acl

i believe i have set things similar as:
10.0.0.0/255.255.255.0

or

10.0.0.0/24


or check the squid thread..
