Install the squid rpm and its dependiencies.
Open the file "/etc/squid/squid.conf" and search for "#http_port 3128".
Make sure that you take out the # and change the port "3128" ( on which your proxy will be listening ), if in case you require.
Search further for line "# http_access deny all" and make it look like this. "http_access allow all". save the file and come out. restart the squid service.
Note: Proxy machine should be connected to the Internet and if DNS entries are not made in proxy, then make sure its made in "/etc/resolv.conf".
Regards, Animesh.

This will make yr proxy an open relay, which you definitely dont want. make sure you allow only your local subnet out thru the proxy.

That's true. That can only be start point to make it work. Rest of tuning and security is to read squid document.
