internet weird prob.

[voidmain]

Try:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid stop

It's really not nice to do a "kill -9" when you can shut it down properly.

i realized that squid has adzap as a redirector program and then realized that adzap wasnt working. So i found that it needed to be made executable so after chmodding it +x, it worked and now it seems to have stoped giving me connection refused errors.
Could it be that this was the cause of the problem?

[voidmain]

Most definitely, I'll bet this fixes it.
