The GNapster protocol (almost certainly) will not be supported by
squid.
You need to perform IP Masquerading to allow your user to access the
napster server.

As root type "ipchains -p tcp -A forward -s 10.17.161.55 -d 0/0 8888 -j
MASQ" at your internet gateway.

NB: i think the napster protocol uses tcp port 8888, if not change this
number to what it does use.
This will also allow the user to access tcp port 8888 on any server on the
internet. Perhaps you might want to find out the address of the napster
server(s) (e.g. nslookup www.napster.com or whois napster.com) and put it
inplace of the "0/0" address (which means any address).
