You can do it two ways, you can just let the masquerading make it look
your M$IE is on the Internet, select no proxies, or
You can run squid on your gateway and specify the port as 3128 (usual
place for squid). This is application level proxying, as opposed to
masq's packet level proxying.
If you load a lot of pages in common between the two machines, the latter
is recommended.
