viswanath for  you to achieve the above you have to set the linux box as a
gateway to the net in the pcq linux 5.2 there is a upgrade script written by
atul you can upgrade the packages at the end of the upgrade it will ask you
for  using the box as a gateway to internet just say yes and aswer all the
questions thats it.
and one more thing you have to remove the proxy options from all the browsers
and set  the gateway optiion in TCP/IP seetings of windows systems.
for details of how to please refer http://www.pcquest.com/linux/gateway.asp

hope that will help
