hi,

i am using fc 7.......i am trying to configure proxy server .........i am adding an entry to squid.config which is as follow
acl ourlan src 172.16.0.1-172.16.100.200/255.255.0.0
http_access allow ourlan

now on issuing squid -X command i am getting a warning
"WARNING: Netmask masks away part of the specified IP in '172.16.0.1-172.16.100.200/255.255.0.0'"

if i enter it as
acl ourlan src 172.16.0.1-172.16.0.200/255.255.0.0
i am getting same warning
"aclParseIpData: WARNING: Netmask masks away part of the specified IP in '172.16.0.1-172.16.0.200/255.255.0.0' "

you should put it down as a bit masker
so 172.16.0.1-172.16.0.200/16

Tell us what happens.

Cheers,
Robin
