yes, but ultimately involves more network magicianry, and the proxy'd
only be running as simplex, not duplex (unless you got a
dual-interface NIC, but it'd still be on the same mobo channel so i'd
still recommend against it).

what you'll want to do is just throw another nic in that one computer
you want on the internet and (assuming it's an off-the-shelf kind,)
turn that router into just a switch and use the proxy box as your router.
