I use linux very frequently these days. And I did not have a proxy server running on linux. Due to this no one could use the internet on the other PC. Today atlast all those problems have been put to an end. Thanks to squid!!

It is a real nice proxy server. I knew nothing about a proxy server or how to setup one. The online help for squid is good enough. If you plan to setup squid for your network, I would suggest that you take a look at these sites:
1. The Squid quick configuration guide that you get from the squid site itself
2. A short article on setting up squid.

Squid has several options. It is supposed to speedup your internet connection by caching data... but I have yet to explore that!
