this is the iptables version

/sbin/iptables -t nat -F

/sbin/iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

/sbin/iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT

/sbin/iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

# for trasparent proxy

/sbin/iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 8080

# for direct connection excluding HTTP

Dear Russell,

/sbin/ipchains -F forward

/sbin/ipchains -F input

/sbin/ipchains -F output

/sbin/ipchains -P forward   ACCEPT
/sbin/ipchains -P input     ACCEPT
/sbin/ipchains -P output    ACCEPT

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

# for transparent proxy
/sbin/ipchains -A input -j REDIRECT 8080 -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0 80

# for direct connection excluding HTTP
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j -p all -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 0.0.0.0/0

It was my old setup in RedHat Linux 7.0Rel.

Now I have installed new verions of RedHat Linux 7.2, with Kernel 2.4.7-10 and iptables version 1.2.3.
