Setting Apache as a proxy over Windows

Hi,

I having troubles configuring apache as a proxy and I would appreciate
any help.

I would like to have apache as a forward proxy - internal users who
want to reach exernal Web Sites will go through it.

My network topology - I have two computers behind a router (cables).
I have installed apache (latest - binaries) on one of them and
configured httpd.conf as following -

1. I have enabled the relevant modules:
LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so

2.I have added the followings to the default settings:

<IfModule mod_proxy>
AllowCONNECT
ProxyRequests On
ProxyVia off
<Proxy *>
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from all
</Proxy>
</IfModule>


I have also set my proxy settings in IE to localhost:8080.

When I try to reach a web site (www.google.com, or www.oracle.com/index.html
for example) I get the apache default web page ("It Works!").

It seems like apache is not functioning as a proxy for some reasons.

What am I missing? What should I do now?
