If all you want to do is proxy some web traffic thru your linux gateway, the
easiest way is to configure the apache proxy services. The lines are
already in your httpd.conf file, just uncomment them (look for proxy:) and
restart the server. Then your winblows boxes can set thier intershit
explorers to use a proxy server - your linux box.
If you are wanting to proxy other traffic then different things need to be
done. But I tend to stay away from Samba, Microsoft Networking, and other
broadcast protocols.
