I have 2 client machines and 1 server utilizing Samba for file serving on the server. All 3 machines are connected through a router. The router is directly connected to the DSL modem and all of my machines can access the internet.

I want to configure my server to be a web server as well. I can configure apache to be a web server but the DSL modem must be connected to the server and my client machines loose the internet connection.

I want to set up my server as a proxy server, connect my DSL directly to the server for web hosting, and allow my client machines to access the internet connection through the proxy server.

I found that squid is to be used for this but I cannot get it configured. Does anyone know of a good step by step How-To to get squid configured and allow client machines to access the internet through the proxy server?

Thanks

Check on the linux documentation project (www.tldp.org), there are quite a few squid, proxy and transparent proxy howtos.
