That's port forwarding..

PAT is like NAT except instead of translating from IP to IP it translates from single external port to many internal ports on the same internal IP.

Port forwarding will take one external port and direct it to an internal IP at either the same port or to another port but not all routers (including the wrt54) will allow you to change the port number.

Can you not change the port in the software to use the same port as the incoming stream?
