Hey Amos

Other than disabling ipv6, there are no other tweaks.  The output of
netstat showed [::] 80 (what my squid servers listen on), but it
didn't seem to want to respond when I hit the squid server with a
request via ipv4.

As I mentioned I added 0.0.0.0:80 and it worked, worked with
my.ip.address.here:80 as well.. But just having port 80 there I got
nothing.

Let me test again, before I hit send.... <elevator music of the most
annoying kind......>

Well #$%#%$#%$#%$ it's working now. I must have had the issues before
I made some other "network related changes" and didn't correlate the
behaviour.

tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN

Allows for my port 80 requests as you stated..

Please pardon me for this interruption. I even stopped the service and
restarted, it works. I sent this so early with so many other changes,
I just didn't correlate my other actions.

My apologies
