In what way does it not work? Do you get a Squid error page? Does your
browser time out? Are there any hints in the access.log?

There could very well be. Given the information given, I'd guess (in
decreasing order of likelihood):
1) your server has a firewall preventing access to port 3128
2) the http_access rules are ordered incorrectly
or
3) your server is only listening on localhost
