It looks like you have defined your proxy server to be the localhost
127.0.0.1, which is on the local loop back interface.

You could try unsetting the proxy server setting. In Gnome it's under
system->Preferences->Network Proxy.

You could also look at your squid configuration and see which interfaces
it is listening on. It may be listening on just just your physical
network interface and not listening on the lo interface. Typing 'netstat
-l -t' will tell you.

Regards,
Tony.
