What refused - Squid or the client Browser?

Do you still have a copy of the old Squid-2 config file?
  You will at very least need to copy some of the details across.

Edit the "acl localnet" lines in squid.conf to only contain that IP range.

That is a network and/or client setting. Same as was done when you used 
Squid-2. It depends on your network topology/design and software used 
how that is done.

Copy the delay_* lines from your Squid-2 config file.

Look for the http_port lines in squid.conf. You should find 3128 already 
present. Add a line "http_port 808" there.

NP: If the 3128 line is commented out (some distributors do) that may be 
the connect problem, remove the '#'.
