Surely there's no reason to have to set up intercept mode (unless the OP can't 
configure the applications to use an explicit proxy)?

I'm assuming the gateway 192.168.1.1 does outbound NAT to the Internet 
(otherwise nothing would work), so all that's needed is to set up Squid on 
192.168.1.2 to allow access from 192.168.1.0/24, with a default gateway of 
192.168.1.1, and then configure each of the 192.168.1.x client machines to use 
192.168.1.2:3128 as their proxy server?

I think one important thing you have missed out is why you need to use Squid 
at all in such a setup?  What are you trying to achieve by implementing it, 
instead of just giving all clients direct access to the Internet?
