The iptables rule for transparent proxy is
#/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 -o eth1 -j MASQUERADE
in the above rule 192.168.0.0 is the local network and 255.255.255.0 is subnet.
-o eth1 option specifies the external interface which connects your proxy server/gateway to the internet.for me it is eth1.for you it might be ppp0 if you are using dialup.
Enable routing on the Server.
Add the IP of your proxy server as gateway in the network properties of the Windows machine.That's it.
reply back if have any relative problem.
