well... isnt this surprising, the master of reality telling VoidMain how to do something... and it working!

i still cant get squid started because it says : "fatal: cant determine fully qualified hostname. Please setup visible_hostname."
and i then set the "visible_hostname" in the squid.conf file, and i still get the same error when trying to start it.
At the console it says "root@server" meaning that the hostname is set to server.
do ya know where the problem may be?

Sounds like it's trying to look up the fully qualified host name for your local IP address and you don't have it set up. You might try giving your inside address a fully qualified host name in /etc/hosts like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.1 proxy.masterofreality.home proxy

If that doesn't work, you should be able to set the visible_hostname in squid.conf to something like:

visible_hostname proxy.masterofreality.home

Surely you jest? The quote comes from an indelible icon in American culture, it is timeless, and rife ith meaning and relevance   :D  

All though I allways wonder "what if Bruce Lee got the part?"

you under-estimate me, i may be 15 years of age, but i now of that saying. I am one with the past, My favorite band is Black Sabbath, my favorite car is a  late 60's to early 70's Hemi-Cuda.Both of which have stopped production. (although the members have made a few "solo" albums since the 80's)
I have seen the movie "the shining" several times. I am kearning the language of old lore, it was made in 1920's, its called Quenta, the elvish language made by tolkien. Fore i may be of youth, but nonetheless i know all too well of the past.

Master of Reality:
i am using lynx from the server now.
I set the host in /etc/hosts and now squid is started. I did those ipchains mentioned earlier, i also have already configured squid properly in the squid.conf file. Now my computers can find the ip address of the website they want to find, but now they cant connect to the site. When my computers on the network try to ping a friend of mine's comp (on the internet) it works fine, but when i tried to ping "www.fuckmicrosoft.com" he couldnt get it.
got any ideas?
