Did I leave anything out > David? Thank you for your instructions. It was nifty. Ric Well... You don't need to restart Firefox. But it does not hurt. If this continues to be a problem put: visible_hostname localhost (notice the underline) at the end of squid.conf and restart squid. It has to read the change. There is also a way to hide your info from the sites you visit. Someone, I think it is Frank(?), has a really nice page on using privoxy and squid together to do that. That's what I do. I had not seen his page before but what I knew, what he wrote about, was something I know from way back in Junkbuster days.
