Then you think Charles approach is the way to go? I'm going to try that (but
has some confusions waiting to be explained, maybe his instruction is clear
enough for a normal Linux user, but not me :). And thanks again.

Subject: RE: Problem starting transparent proxy (squid)
Ok, we gotta fix that first. Squid's only going to handle http
requests. Everything else needs to get out on its own.
Because proxying won't work until forwarding works. Charles' post
from a few minutes ago is a good place to start (though I think you
don't want the ".o" on the module names; just 'modprobe ip_masq_ftp').
You definitely need forwarding to work, and the important stuff in
Charles' message are the ipchains rules, and the line that echos "1"
to ip_forward. (It's true that you should add firewall rules, but
that's more complicated, so let's burn that bridge when we come to it,
as one of my coworkers is fond of saying ...)
The workstation must then point to that gateway machine as its default
gateway. Try that, and make sure you don't have the redirect rule
active for squid, or proxy settings in place on your browser. Once
we've got your workstation online, getting squid to work is trivial --
you've already done the homework on that.
