Mar Elsen suggested to change the port, so I changed it to http_port 80
Now in the cache.log it shows:

nslookup gives:
# netstat -an | grep LISTEN | grep :80
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN

Testing again after changing the port show:
# ./squidclient -p 80 http://www.netscape.com
Alarm clock

What is that Alarm Clock thing? does it mean the time out? ohh and by the
way, it is not logged in the access.log.
