By default you should already have "localhost" set to 127.0.0.1 in /etc/hosts, here's mine with my local junkyard network: [root@iam maps]# more /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 192.168.1.104 ru.wayward4now.net ru 192.168.1.103 ima.wayward4now.net ima 192.168.1.102 ur.wayward4now.net ur 192.168.1.101 iam.wayward4now.net iam So just doing those edits to firefox should make it run just dandy if your /etc/hosts file has localhost set. Fire up Firefox click on edit > preferences > advanced > network > settings and you'll see the page he references. click on the button = 'manual', then add the following values: HTTP proxy [127.0.0.1] Port [ 3128] That should fire up when you restart Firefox. Did I leave anything out David? Thank you for your instructions. It was nifty.
