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.
