Yes, indeed, the NAT is something else than proxy server. If you have NAT then all the traffic is forwarded to your computer behind the wall.
The InternetSharing "is" working correctly, because it's normal that no traffic is forwarded to the internal network. It's some sort of protection, because your internal computer isn't directly addressable from the internet. Now I'm 99% sure that the BAT had problems because of the ports which wasn't accessable directly from internet. My Bat is now working about 17 hours (non-stop) without any Freezing, thats Great!
