Topic: Email works, but not internet

[ringring7]

Hello. Im fairly new to SME, but i have setup a version 6 server and its being gonig well for a few weeks now. Suddenly i cant seem to access the internet. Email/putty both work fine. I replaced the router (Dynalink RTA 230). Didn't help.
The computers attached all get IPs ok, and save files etc....a friend thought it may have something to do with squid not running, but i don't know what to do there. (I have restarted the server a few times)

Help!

What's the output of ipconfig look like?

Also try a workstation connected to the router see
if that gets out.

Hi,
If i plug the router directly into a PC it works fine.

I typed 'service squid status' and got...

squid dead but subsys locked
squid: ERROR: No running copy
[root@server installtime]#

I tried 'service squid reload' and got....
squid: ERROR: No running copy

Generally the PCs have no problems with getting an IP address from the server. They access files and email ok, just NO INTERNET.

**even if there was just some way i could bypass something, so that Internet could use the same "channels" as email (since email works!)**

First of all don't use service ...., that command is deprecated on the sme server and won't always work correctly.

use
/etc/init.d/squid status
/etc/init.d/squid restart

Something has happened to squid, that's why you can't browse the Internet
See this link, it may help get squid going again
