Without a proxy running, u'll have to do masquerading ( NAT ) for browsing from other computers, setting the default gateway in those machines the ip of the nat machine. Alternately U may install and configure squid as a transparent proxy and using iptables redirect all http connections to the squid port, making good use of the squid caching.
