Is there anyone using this mailing list that has squid on one machine and Libranet on another.

I am not the best expert but it seems to me that you might have a router to connect to the net, the router is configured to let www go thru (port 80), the other ports seem to be restricted. apt-get uses different ways to connect (I think) using ftp or wget, so most likely the ftp port (21) is blocked, irc uses port 6667 and I am not sure about gaim. if I am right about the router thing then you need to configure it to allow some ports to be directed to your Linux box. I hope this helps Ayman
