set-up in the browser to use the proxy but not otherwise. Is there a way to
force a browser to detect proxy settings again? Do y'all want my config file
posted so you can tell me what's wrong?

Are you getting the packets to Squid via a router, layer 3 switch, a firewall,
or by using Squid as your default gateway with iptables / ipchains? This has
as much to do with it as anything else. Squid can only be transparent if
packets get to it.
