Ok then I am more than confused.
When I had windows installed I used a proxy to access the net from my machines

linux machine as a protection and access to the Internet for http but also
for smtp and pop3?
Thanks

Well, you have a couple choices. You can set the Linux box up to NAT
(or masquerade) your connection
(http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/IP-Masquerade-HOWTO/ for example) or you can
find a SOCKS proxy that works on Linux, and use that to proxy
connections to the Internet for those applications that support it.
