OK, this is quite different from what you said before. Let me make sure I've got it straight this time. You have a gateway with internal IP address 192.168.1.1 and external IP address A.B.C.D. It runs NAT or IP masquerading. You have a LAN of multiple Windows computers with IP addresses 192.168.2.*. Somehow these are able to talk to your gateway at 192.168.1.1 (implying that you have a netmask of /22 or less, rather than the traditional /24). You want to run a Freenet node (transient? non-transient?) on each of these Windows machines, and connect them to the larger worldwide Freenet. If you want to run transient nodes, no special steps are required. The transient nodes will simply make requests to other Freenet nodes via NAT/ipmasq, and receive their response packets just like any other normal TCP/IP connection. If you want to run real (non-transient) nodes, then it's different. You'll have to allocate one unique port for each Windows machine, and forward that port from the gateway to its respective LAN client. On the LAN client, you'll have to make Freenet listen for FNP requests on the port that is forwarded to that client. You will also have to make sure that the node advertises itself with the public IP of your gateway (A.B.C.D) and the port number which is being forwarded to that client. This is documented at <http://freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Main/NATSAndFirewalls>, which is linked from the Freenet documentation web page.
