[squid-users] Re: Squid 2.5 STABLE7 failing under Cygwin Windows XP

I have finally got the Squid-2.6.STABLE7 working under Cygwin.

While sieving through the previous posts in my mails. While doing so
it struck my mind that Squid on Cygwin might be requesting the Bofi's
Squid (Running on this SAME machine) (I go the Hint from the line :
"*connection to Failed " in the error message that my browser gave).

So, I configured Squid running under Cygwin to use the Bofi's Squid as
Parent Cache as follows;

 # Set the relationship to a parent, and don't bother with ICP queries
 cache_peer 192.168.x.x parent 8080 3130 proxy-only no-query
 # Make sure ALL requests pass through parent
 never_direct allow all

My requirement was to use two Squids in Parent-Child relationship on
the same machine. This is achieved.

But, I am surprised by this behaviour of Squid. Because on another
machine on which a WindowsNT port of Acme Consulting and Cygwin port
of Squid was running, both could work independently, and is still
working (It is a P-III) machine.

Could someone please suggest why can't my Squid under Cygwin succeed
direct connection to the Internet? Why it tries to find a Parent Cache
when it is not configured to do so?
