Port forwrding siimply forwards the set ports to your ip adddress. My modem has a set ip different to my pc, so i tell it to forward the port range 17999 - 180001 to my ip address. you can apperently tell it to forward those ports to an ip range as well if the machines are all behind the same NAT firewall.

Seems that port 17997 is neede to. I just forwarded ports 17995 - 18002 and it worked fine. My error.
