Do other ports masquerade correctly, ie. 80 (http), 22 (telnet)? If not,
have you turned on ip_masquerading for your kernel? I don't mean compiling
it in, there's a file in /proc (I don't remember exactly where) you have to
twiddle with to turn it on, something like /proc/net/ipv4/all/ip_forward
(?). At least it's that way with 2.2 kernels, I forget about 2.0.

Hope this helps, you shouldn't need a proxy, unless you want to cache data
as well.
