Mike: The only difference I see between your setup and mine (which works fine) is the iptables line .. Here's mine:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 (I'm running Mandrake 8.2 on that box) .... Also, you're telling the browser that you are using NO proxy, right?
