Hi,

Since I have certain things in my squid.conf that I'd prefer to keep private
(IPs etc) here's the minimum lines you'll need to change:

1) cache_dir ufs /hdd1/squidcache 1000 16 256
2) acl MyLan src 192.168.3.1-192.168.3.254/255.255.255.255
3) http_access allow MyLan
4) visible_hostname Squid Cache

These lines are:

1) Alter the path to your personal cache directory. Leave directory numbers
etc standard. I've increased my cache_dir size to 1Gbyte. I have a VERY
small LAN so 1Gbyte is enough.
2) Create an ACL for your LAN
3) Allow your LAN access through Squid
4) Unless your Squid box has a Fully Qualified Domain Name, set this to your
liking.

Last thing I can think of: make sure that the user for which Squid runs as
(as listed in the squid.conf file) has full permissions on the cache_dir and
log directories. My current guess is that Squid can't write to the cache or
logs. Check these permissions and see if speed improves!

hth
