Re: [squid-users] Transparent proxy - help

Hello all,
I am also working for setting up squid as transparent proxy on RH 7.2 with
the built in kernel and iptables.
How do i get the kernel configuration menu?
i mean through what command.. as I am totally lost in 7.2
Right now I have configured the squid part.
I have put the value "1" in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
and i have tried to use this command

iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j
REDIRECT --to-port 8080

This last command is accepted as well at shell prompt but what next ??
please help

Thanks in advance

Regards,

---
