configuring squid with ADSL modem for internet access for the clients

[aaaaaarko]

I have configured squid(v 2.6) in RHEL server(5.4).The squid proxy server has 2 NIC cards.one is connected with the local network another with ADSL modem which is DHCP enebled.
Ip of the NIC1(connected with LAN)=172.17.19.161
Ip of the NIC2(connected with ADSL Modem)=192.168.1.1

In the browser of the client machines i have put 192.168.1.1:3128 as proxy settings.Still the clients cant access internet.Do i need to fix a static ip for the ADSL modem instead of DHCP?

• The client machines should use 172.17.19.161:3128
• If you are using a firewall (like IPTABLES), make sure that you can accept inbound connections from 172.17.19.0/24 (or whatever your LAN is) to TCP port 3128.
• Your default gateway for the proxy machine needs to be the internal IP address (192.168.1.x) of the ADSL router.
• If you can ping google.com from the console of the proxy server, you should be OK.

PS. The 192.168.1.1 address listed for NIC2 is usually the internal address of the ADSL router and not of a machine. You could be correct, but just noticing the abnormality.
