A proxy server is a computer that offers a computer network service to allow clients to make indirect network connections to other network services. A client connects to the proxy server, then requests a connection, file, or other resource available on a different server. The proxy provides the resource either by connecting to the specified server or by serving it from a cache. In some cases, the proxy may alter the client's request or the server's response for various purposes.

i'm not going to describe u what proxy server stands for , you already got an explanation,i'm asuming you are using windows;the easiest way to install a proxy server is to download and install a program called Igate (free for 2 computers).just look it up on google.then you can configure another computer to conect using your computer as a proxy server;just type in your computer's ip in the proxy server adress field on the other computer.that's it

This should answer all of your questions. I'm sorry, I was just too tired to write it all myself.
