Default long! but detailed and fun to read :-)

That is important yes... but not what is causing your problems.

Your problem is occurring before WINxp's fire wall an even get its hand on the data...

short lesson:

NAT = Network Address Translation.

What NAT does... it allows you to have one real IP (your 63.228.xxx.xxx) for many None real IP's (all your PC's you have running at home on your "guessing" 192.168.0.0 network.) FYI 192.168.0.0 is a private address.. No router will pass that address. But that isn't a bad thing.
This isn't so un-similar to the concept behind routing.

Here inlays the problem.
For ease sakes. Lets say this. You have 2 puters in your lan. Your eqemu server has an ip address of 192.168.0.2 and your Ever Quest playing computer (or client I will call it) has an ip address of 192.168.0.3. Also lets say your Cisco 678
