no problem, just setup your squid.conf the right way and restart squid via it's init script (SuSE) /sbin/init.d/squid…

You should have some lines in squid.conf like:

acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
acl MyEthernet src 192.168.0.99-192.168.0.100/255.255.255.0
http_access allow MyEthernet
http_access deny all !localhost !MyEthernet
icp_access allow MyEthernet
icp_access deny all !localhost !MyEthernet

For easy setup look out for webmin or use swat, but configure it propably, to only allow access to it from one box.

Better, read the docs that come with squid…:-)

Good luck
