So what do you suggest? Should I just erase this line or change it?

Will do that. How about the "icp_access"? What does this command do? Should
I leave it "allow all"?

Squid seems to starts, but clients can't browse the internet. They get the
default error msg that the browser shows when it can't load the website.
This actualy got me thinking if I am setting up the browser correctly? I'm
typing the servers IP for the proxy address and "3128" for the proxy port,
is that correct?

How should I do that? I tried to start squid with "/etc/init.d/squid -N
start" and "/etc/init.d/squid -N" but I didn't work. I end up finding out
that I could check squid's status and for my surprise I got this message "*
squid is not running.". So how do I start squid so it will show me the
error msgs on screen?
