Yes this works because there's a 1-to-1 corrispondance for ports #. That is
the port # the outside world see's is the same as what the local machine is
using.

Single IP NAT utilizes the port # for mapping to the IPs on your local net.
Thus the outside world maybe talking to port 15000, while your local
machine is talking to say 3000. The Pipe translates this so it can use a
single IP.

Nope.

I hate to say this but you're doomed to failure.
Perhaps you can configure a direct port mapping to specific machines. So
<Global IP:Port> -> <Local IP:Port>, but I think the Pipe will still
translate the Port #. If this does work then atleast one machine would be
able to play Quake, while the other could play Diablo.
This is just what I've found. Perhaps one of the Ascend tech can shed more
light.
