Set your http proxy as the IP of the MSProxy machine (I don't know what
port, but a quick google should tell you, or nmap the IP of the MSProxy.

I don't know if MSProxy acts as a gateway with NAT or not - if so then
set the gateway of the MSProxy as your gateway.  Otherwise the IP of
your DSL router would be the gateway.

So get a second machine - a crappy old P133 with 64 Mb ram is heaps for
an internal samba server/firewall/print server/web server/etc  If you
want squid as well... a touch more ram would help.  You don't even need
a monitor
