thinking about your request I think what you want to do is to make it 
look as if you have a web server or something at 192.168.0.1 to your 
neighbour, but to in fact serve those requests from a machine at 
193.xxx.yyy.2. In addition, you need the requests to appear to come 
from your external address, so that the responses can find their way 
back to you.

my next question is: Do you control 193.xxx.yyy.2? (is it FreeBSD?)
because there are several ways you could solve that problem if you do, 
and it is..
basically by making a tunnel directly between that machine and you.

if you want to not use a tunnel there are several steps on the way.
we need to think abut what packets look like at each step.

at em0, incoming

packet A from neighbour, on the wire:
To: 192.168.0.1  port 80
From: 192.168.0.x  port MMM0
we want to change this packet.

packet B from neighbour, on the wire:
To: www.google.com  port 80
From: 192.168.0.x  port MMM1
we want to leave this packet alone (for now)

At this stage, (on the incoming packet A on em0)
we need to change the DESTINATION address,
so we need a regular NAT, acting as if it were accepting an incoming 
connection.
(which it is).

so from the natd man page, the NAT 'rule' is:
       redirect_address 193.xxx.yyy.2 192.168.0.1

This must only happen on incoming packets from the neighbour, 
*addressed to you* so
ipfw has a rule:
ipfw add xx ${NAT_ACTION} ip from ${NEIGHBOUR_NET} to 
${MY_NIGHBOUR_ADDR} in recv ${MY_NEIGHBOUR_IFACE}

NAT_ACTION is either "nat 1" or "divert ${INTERNAL_DIVER_PORT}
MY_NEIGHBOUR_ADDR="192.168.0.0/24"
MY_NEIGHBOUR_IFACE="em0"

now you need a rule to match this one for retranslation of return packets
so  on output you have:
ipfw add yy ${NAT_ACTION} ip from 193.xxx.yyy.zzz to ${NEIGHBOUR_NET} 
out xmit ${MY_NEIGHBOUR_IFACE}

and the nat must be set up to leave unmapped packets alone.
so deny_incoming must NOT be set in the NAT configuration.



so theoretically this is the destination address taken care of (in 
outgoing packets, source address on incoming packets).

So then you need to take care of the source address of the outgoing 
packets.
this takes place on the INTERNET facing interface, and really, it 
should all be taken care of already if you have NAT enabled and you 
can ping the internet from the neighbour's net.


   hope this helps....
