Far easier to install a box from scratch then swap the IP addresses :) |

Well, my config file has passed the check by the Squid people, so it's certainly not that... |

Well, wget works. So it's not *strictly* a network issue. |

Yet there might be light at the end of the tunnel... A guy in the Netfilter mailing list had indirectly given me a probable solution; he's been having trouble accessing www.apple.com through the proxy (and actually, www.apple.com is also one of the sites I can't access via my proxy box). He managed to make his proxy work by adding a rule to iptables to allow incoming access to port 80. Despite having no web server listening at that port. |

Doesn't really make sense, I know: why the heck does a target web server need access to *my* port 80, but it worked after all. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
So, come Monday, I'm going to change the policy for incoming port 80 from DROP to REJECT or ACCEPT, and we'll see if there's going to be joy in mudville :) |
