Address translation is usually done by routers, thus it seems to me that
this is the issue of router configuration. Unless you machine uses private
IPs (that is one with subnet number of 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 or
192.168.0.0/16) router may be reconfigured to stop translating your
IP(s). This may however be a serious conflict with local security policy
at your site, since internal addresses are usually hidden for some reason.
