Yeah I've been through this. Apparently it is a limitation of the vanilla Windows 2000 NAT software. If I could replace this machine with a linux machine configured in the same way it would not be a problem (I know as I have tried) but for reasons beyond my control this cannot be the permanent solution without rewiring this that and the other... long story.
