Please help, what do I need to do so that my client systems can ping successfully.

Answer Wiki:
Squid has nothing to do with 'ping,' which is a layer 2 thing (ICMP). Why are you running squid? I am assuming that there is some reason that the systems that access the web through your squid server cannot access it directly. Are your 'squid client systems' on the same subnet as the squid server? Can you ping things fine from the server that squid is running on?
