dnsserver problems

Hi list :)

I have just subscribed and I am new to this list so excuse me if I ask
something that has already been answered (I've searched the archives but
haven't found anything).

I am trying to set up Squid as a Proxy for our LAN in our Faculty
(absolutely all clients are Win9x) but I always get the same error
messages. I am using SuSE 6.3 and have installed Squid 2 that comes with
this distro (I haven't compiled, just installed it).

The errors I get are:

FATAL: Too many queued dnsserver requests

I've been trying to configure it for four days (today's the fifth), and
I
always get the same error.

I've checked out /usr/sbin/dnsserver and it's got the right permissions,
I've also checked out ownership, ... everything seems to be OK. I've
also read the Squid FAQs and tried out the answers -> no results.

If anyone can help out :)

Thanx in advance
