Sounds like an interesting setup.  I was going to suggest a dial up
connection so that you can get a fixed IP.  However, if you have a W2K
server that is connected to the internet, you would already have a fixed IP.
If you had a fixed IP, you wouldn't have a problem.  I am guessing that you
have a W2K or WXP workstation acting as a server.  I don't think you can go
through ICS to get the client's address on the other side since the address
is translated at the servers.

You can also play your games on the server.  That may still not work for the
long run since the address you got from the ISP may have come from a DHCP
server.  You would have to do Ipconfig each time you reboot your machine.

Don't know how your game works but can you play it through a common server
like ICQ etc.?
