If you have a NATed network. You have private IP address's on each client. These address's are NEVER seen on the actual internet. They are a network, in effect, seperate from the internet. The box that does your NAT, your router, or software, usally has a PAT IP. Whats called a Port Address Translation Address. Its translates your internal clients to this ONE pat IP for the rest of the world.
So, lets say you had 200 people on your internal network. From the internet, all the access would look as if it was coming from that PAT port on your router. The router keeps all the data going to the right places, but going into that requires more knowledge of TCP/IP that I'm not going to go into now, but it only goes to one acutal internet IP. The rest of the world only sees that one IP.
