What make is your "win proxy"? MS Proxy? Most probably, it is not configured
to behave as a router. It is a proxy server. Meaning, on your linux box, if
you are using Netscape, then ask netscape to use this particular proxy
server as HTTP proxy.

If however, you want your linux box virtually on Internet, then you need a
real router or "IP forwarding turned ON" on your "win proxy" or (best) "IP
masquerading" linux box.
