I have only managed to use squid if the box is used as a router, and NAT all traffic 
through it. But if I try to use it as a stand alone server just serving proxy requests
and Getting the Forward loop detection.

Which other manuals are out there I can go through?

I have even tried connecting the proxy server using 2 networks one for receive the users connections 
and the other as the internet gateway to no avail.

Hello,

Squid 3.3.8 is now working as the earlier versions I have used before in transparent mode.
Its giving me "warning forwarding loop detected for" in cacge.log and "Access Denied." on the browser.

Anyone with any pointers on how t use it in transparent mode?
