You need to perform the above steps in each client computer in the network. Now,

everything is set and you can browse the internet from the client computer(s). For

other applications apart from Internet Explorer, you need to configure the program

to use the Proxy Server (if the program allows it).

Example: If you're performing a Symantec Live Update in a client machine,

configure the Live Update interface to use the Proxy Server. Same for any Instant

Messengers you might use.
