I think proxy server is not needed for Windows LAN for sharing internet. I was able to enable sharing to dial up connections in Windows Networks even with out using proxy. I also tested Linux servers and they required proxy. Linux clients can be also connected to Windows servers even if the Windows server doesn't have proxy. But Linux server needs proxy even for sharing internet connection to Windows clients. Can any one enlighten more information about it?
