This still boils down to a problem with Quake.  Every other UDP/TCP
program I've used manages to make it through the address translation...
why?  Because the server doesn't depend on any data within the TCP/UDP
packet to determine the source port/source IP address combination. 
Apparently, there is some inline information encoded for the client port
number.  This is bad.

Thanks,
