Hi Dean,

How have you setup your network? The first things I need to know are:
Is the LInux system a default gateway, and already connected to the Internet.
Can your Windows clients see the net through the gateway yet?
Have you configured DHCP, DNS, etc?

Hi Dean,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, however I have been very busy and haven't had time to get into this in any depth. Have you had a look at http://www.squid-cache.org/ ?

If you go to the FAQ Section then the "Quick Start Guide", that should answer most of your questions.

Good Lunk,
Andrew
