squid error on port 8888

Hello all

we installed squid proxy and it's working fine but we have a problem when accessing a web page on port 8888 http://www.xyz.com:8888/

we get the following error on the client

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://www.xyz.com:8888/
The following error was encountered:
• Connection Failed
The system returned:
(13) Permission denied
The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again.

Accessing directly the page is ok.

or, enable NAT in your linux box.

then any connection to a non standard port (port 80) still will be able to succed but not monitored nor accelerated by squid.

Hi all

Gabriel Orozco
