[squid-users] Sos transparent proxy problem

Dear all

I am in a panic situation. I have configured squid with Diskd to use as a
transparent proxy following are the lines I used to support it for
transparent proxy.

Httpd_accel_host virtual

httpd_accel_port 80

httpd_accel_with_proxy on

httpd_accel_uses_host_header on

the squid is running on port 3128, and my machine has two network cards.
eth0 has the ip 192.168.0.29 and the eth1 has the live ip.

I have made some of the rules in /etc/rc.local to forward the request to
port 80.

 This is my rc.local

touch /var/lock/subsys/local

ulimit -n 8192

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p tcp -j MASQUERADE

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -i eth0 -j DNAT --to
192.168.0.29:3128

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p udp -j MASQUERADE

the dns is also running on the same machine.

On the client end I have giving 192.168.0.29 as gateway and 192.168.0.29 as
dns.

I am surprised but my browser takes a lot of time around 4 to 5 minutes; l
use IE if I try to open www.hotmail.com it displayes "opening page
http://WWW.www.hotmail.com.net" then it redirects to auto search. And then
says internet explorer cannot display the search page.

If I turn on the iptables with the above rules. My browser connects if I
give it the proxy server as 192.168.0.29 with port 80.

I have tried to reconsider every thing which I can.

Urgent help is needed.

Thanx a million in advance

Kind Regards
