1. Find the section in your configuration file containing the line:

#acl localnet src 192.168.0.0/16     # RFC1918 possible internal network

2. Add below that line one which reads as follows:

acl localnet src aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/nn

replacing aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd/nn with the network range containing the clients 
which you want to be able to access Squid.

3. Find the section in your configuration file containing the line:

#http_access allow localnet

3. Remove the # symbol from the start of that line.

4. Save the file and reload squid,

5. Test it and tell us what errors you get if it does not work - including:

 - what browser or other application you were testing it with
 - the IP address of the machine the browser was running on
 - the URL you attempted to access
 - the lines from Squid's access.log file (which I think you should find in 
/var/log/squid on an Ubuntu system) corresponding to the request.

Antony.
