Hello Luggers,

I have a setup of single box running WhiteBox Linux 3.0 with squid & iptables. The iptables setup is :- i forward all incomming connections to 80 port from local users to squid proxy server with rules: iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -s ! 192.168.0.1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to 192.168.0.1:3128 iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 192.168.0.1 -j SNAT --to 192.168.0.1 iptables -A FORWARD -s 192.168.0.0/24 -d 192.168.0.2 -i eth0 -o eth0 -p tcp --dport 8080 -j ACCEPT I have allowed localhost and 192.168.0.0/24 network in squid acl config.Now my problem is that when every any host tries to browse any site the following error is shown by squid If i hit http://www.yahoo.com/ in browser i get ========================================== ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- While trying to retrieve the URL: / The following error was encountered: Invalid URL Some aspect of the requested URL is incorrect. Possible problems: Missing or incorrect access protocol (should be `http://'' or similar) Missing hostname Illegal double-escape in the URL-Path Illegal character in hostname; underscores are not allowed Your cache administrator is root.
