Quite an impressive mix up there :)

Firstly, I would check that squid is running.

# nmap localhost -p 1-65500
# nc localhost -p 3130  

Talk breifly to it, just to see if Squid is playing friendly.

If squid is working, personally I would put in a ip[tables|chains] rule
to redirect all port 80 traffic though squid.  I'm quite sure there is
an example of transparent proxying in the manual.  The other aproch is
to setup your web browser to use your local proxy, but without knowing
what you use, I can't advise. RTFM for your browser.

If you want to know if your current setup is using squid, look at the
squid logs, it should be pretty obvious.

Hope this helps,
