One way around the NAT issue is making the PPC the DMZ host. This
works for me on my DLink 714P wireless router. This feature is found
on most firewall/routers, and allows you to expose one computer on
your inside network to the Internet unfiltered. You will also need to
use a static IP address or MAC-DHCP mapping to ensure the PPC gets the
same IP address each time.
I tried using special application port configuration using the
information on the real networks web site, but this did not work.
Apparently the PPC player uses different ports.
