Have you configured the two network cards in RedHat?  I have the setup here, and
can help but I don't know enough about your situation.  The card connected to
the broadband modem gets the settings that your windows machine normally would
get.  The other card is connected to your local hub, and gets local settings in
the range of 192.168.x.x .  (I'm not sure how much of the DNS details Windows XP
took care of this for you.)  You can use ipchains (IP Masquerading) to share the
connection in this way.  When you say proxy, it's probably best to do it through
a firewall, and a sample comes with ipchains I think.
