First of all: don't top-post. I fixed your quoting this time, I will not
reply to another top-post.

Your ruleset is very incomplete, to say the least. Also that's not the
rules currently active on your system (you get those by issuing the
command "iptables -nL").

- You don't set default policies.
- You don't delete user-defined chains.
- You don't clear the default chains.

Start with this:

  iptables -P INPUT DROP
  iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
  iptables -P FORWARD DROP

  iptables -X
  iptables -F

These five lines will bring the packetfilter (the "filter" table, to be
precise) to a well-defined state from where you can start building your
ruleset.

Next add the access rules. You may want to specify the interface as well
as use stateful filtering.

  iptables -A INPUT -i $INT_IF -p tcp -s 10.15.192.0/22 --dport 3128 \
    -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT
  iptables -A INPUT -i $INT_IF -p tcp -s 10.15.192.7 --dport 22 \
    -m state --state NEW -j ACCEPT

Outgoing traffic related to these connections is already covered by the
default policy of the OUTPUT chain (ACCEPT).

As Bart-Jan already mentioned, you may want to allow certain ICMP types,
and you definitely should allow inbound RELATED traffic (e.g. for DNS):

  iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

Do you want the box to be a transparent proxy? If so: read the HOWTOs I
mentioned before. It's all covered there.

Should the box do IP-forwarding, too (i.e. be a router for your LAN)?
