You do not need to contact the ISP for any reason.

The windows workstation configuration should be:
    DHCP assigned IP
DHCP servers can assign subnet masks, ip numbers, gateways, dns servers,
etc.
You need to configure your DHCP server to assign class 16 bit network mask
(255.255.0.0), on the subnet:
    for example: 10.10.*.*
(Well 16 bit subnet isn't best, but it will work fine in your situation)

Each workstation needs the IP# of your squid server, for example: 10.10.0.1
with the appropriate port (3128 is default on squid).

After that it setup properly, you should be able to boot any Win9x
workstation and they should run fine on the Internet, if squid is setup
properly.
