Making HTC Tattoo access the WiFi network

[nandifamily]

I have a HTC Tattoo. And like all Android devices, it has this weird limitation of lack of proxy settings on the WiFi network. For this reason, I cannot access the web on my device and I am finding it useless.

I rooted my Android and tried several hacks on it but it still doesnt respect any proxy setting. Tired, I unrooted it as left it as it is.

Now I am planning a different alternative. The University LAN extends to the our faculty quarters and so, to our home too. We can connect upto 4 computers on the home using WiFi. Maybe, I could set up a gateway that could intercept the packets from my Android device and then tunnel it through the University proxy, as the proxy supports HTTP/1.1 CONNECT option.

Any help regarding how to set this up will be appreciated. This way my other devices that do not support proxies can access the internet too.

Please help me. I am not asking for Android hacks. I want to set up an intercepting gateway as mentioned before.
