Your external IP isn't used on the lan. Everything has its own internal IP and forwards their traffic onto the gateway which then strips off the internal ip and replaces it with the external ip. Then when the requested traffic comes back, the gateway forwards it back to the internal ip that requested it.

What is the benefits of using NAT?

Network Address Translation (NAT) became helpful when IPv4 was running out of IP addresses to give. Using NAT in a Local Area Network (LAN) allows you to have one IP address given to you by your ISP (207.68.35.18 for example) which would be your WAN or Outside IP Address. If you needed to access a server inside your LAN when you are not connected to your LAN, using NAT would allow you to set up an IP address for that server and allow you to remotely use that server outside your LAN.


What is unique about network IP addresses?

An IP address must be unique within a LAN; the combination of the network and host portion must present a number that is not duplicated anywhere else in the network. Outside of a LAN the IP addresses do not have to be unique, except that the network id portion can only be used by the organization that owns the IP network address. The host portion does not need to be unique across all LANs within an enterprise network.
