Running Game Server w/ Internet Connection Sharing...Cannot find correct IP

Hey guys, i need a little help. I'm connected to the internet, through a college dorm network, on a quick T3. I have my computer setup with the Asus A78NX board with dual NICs up and running. Connected to this computer is what I want to be my server, using XP Internet Connection Sharing.

I can see my computer over my little LAN that i have setup between the two, and I can connect to it in every way. However, its IP address is something like 192.168.0.2, which I know is assigned by windows. I cannot connect to it through any computer outside of the network.

How do i make this server visible so that others can locate it over the internet? I need it to have its own IP address.

Thanks in advance!

You need to somehow setup port forwarding so that when you connect to your main IP through a predetermined port, it points to the correct computer. However, I am not sure how to do it, but others should be able to help you out.
 
I understand port forwarding with a Router. However, I am not using a router, I am using Internet Sharing. How am I to forward that port through the use of XP alone?

Any help?
