CC Proxy is a HTTP/FTP proxy (and a handful of other protocols.
Quake 3 uses its own protocol. So unless you find a proxy that will route packets blindly, or find one specially built for Q3, you're out of luck.
The best way to connect more than one computer to a single internet connection is to purchase a ROUTER, or suitably configure a spare machine to act as one.
However. Q3 also supposedly has SOCKS support, which is some kind of rudimentary secure protocol for tunelling through a proxy. CC Proxy also supports SOCKS.
Getting SOCKS to work is an exercise I'll leave up to you though... it never worked for me way back when I tried it, and the impelementation in Q3 might be horribly broken for all I know (after all, who uses it?)
Good luck tho. And consider that investment in a router.... Makes life much easier.
