Not too sure about your network and Squid configuration, but o use
proxy, set the "http_proxy" before starting Evo (or any other
application which connects to Internet) using:

        export http_proxy=http://ip.of.the.proxy:port

and if your proxy requires authentication:

        export http_proxy=http://username:password ip of the proxy:port

Hope this helps.

Srinidhi.
