Try using Net Address Translation.  If you have an NT box, it's built in
as "IP forwarding".  If you have a Linux box, they call it IP masquerading.
If you have W95, there's a tool I use called NAT32.  I've used it to
play Q2 with both my computers on the same server using one modem.  That
is not really practical but with broadband you should have no problem.
I only have experience with nat32 though, so YMMV.  Try www.nat32.com
