[squid-users] Squid not starting up after update to Fedora Core4

Hi,

I have been using squid for about 4-5 months successfully on a RedHat 7.1 box
which acts as the nat router / firewall between the I-net and my LAN. A couple
of days ago I decided to upgrade to Fedora Core4. I have now got most things
working, but the browers on my LAN clients are not able to access web-sites. I
can ping the web-sites, but the browers are doing nothing.
At first I thought it was a DNS problem, but tcpdump indicates that is working
fine and if I use IP numbers for the web-sites they still don't respond.
I have copied over my squid.conf and iptables setting from 7.1 and successfully
set up the cache directories but I am getting nothing in access.log or
store.log.

Can anybody see what I am doing wrong, or knows of any utilities that could
clarify what the issue is?

Here is a decommented copy of the squid.conf file I am using.
