Basic network question - is the Cable modem providing the IP Address via
DHCP?
If so what may be happening is that when the Cable modem is turned off,
squid is starting up without an IP Address..

Have you tried editing your init.d script to run Squid with the -D
option
(disables DNS checks)? Also, are there any error messages in
cache.log?
