Hi Everyone. I've been using Fedora for abiout a yeatr now and have really enjoyed it. I usually use the txt based install and then search for ours on the relevant sites to figure out waht needs to be done. I have generaklly been setting up a few Linux servers running Tomcat......

However I've just found a need that I require a proxy server. I currently have a Firebox as our gateway that runs a secure vpn to another firbox. All out browsing also goes through this. I want to take teh load of it so in parrallel I've built a Fed5 server and installed squid, plus some other stuff I'd eventually have a play with.

Now I set the proxy in [tools], [internet options], [Connections], [Lan Settings]

to

IP: 192.168.0.150 Port: 3128

Now this all works fine, until I open up IE on a client machine and go to Microsoft Windows Update and choose either Express or Custom. It eventually times out and gives the following error:-

AAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH what a Bstrd just went to check what error code it was giving and now its working....

Ahh well thanks in advance for any future help. I'm posting this cause I've just typed all this stuff
