Help needed on ip forwarding

Here's my current network.

[ADSL modem] -- [ router ] -- [ private LAN ] -- [ my computer ]

My modem gets an external IP from the ISP.

My computer uses an internal IP (192.168.0.*) assigned by the router.

What I'd like is to set up a virtual interface and ip
forwarding/masquerading to 'trick' my
computer into thinking that it's using the external IP address instead.

This is because certain peer to peer clients work better if they 'think'
they have
an external IP address to give to other client on their networks. My
computer is set as
the DMZ on the router, so any inbound connection will pass through to my
computer.

The issue is now how to trick all the applications into thinking they're
using the
external IP address on the virtual interface (I have two physical
interfaces on my
computer if it makes a difference).

I managed to set the external IP on the virtual interface, but got stuck
setting up
the routing tables.

Any help in getting this setup to work would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
