It has nothing to do with windows connection sharing. It is two physical router boxes and the problem isn't lack of knowledge, it the weakness of the configuration utilities the boxes have. :)
The ports are open and that is working, the problem is with the way Sacred handles the publishing of the game server IP in the lobby so I am having to pull tricks to get around the poor coding they do. (The lobby ends up using the internal IP's not the routable IP provided by the ISP, and of course you aren't going to be about to connected to a 192.168.x.x which is what the lobby ends up saying the game is on).
I did some IP spoofing to get it visible, but I think I might have to do some MAC address cloning as well....

It's all just zeroes and ones and duct tape in the end.
