Could you draw an ascii digram, or be more descriptive. I am not able
to picture what network you have here. Like how is your laptop
connected too the Internet? And what exactly is your "home
connection"?

Assuming you are using iptables to use a proxy(again you are going to
have to explain how it's setup), it is usually easier to set up
iptables that fowards things to a proxy from a lookup list, and just
passes everything else through.


Sorry I couldn't be more helpful,
