This isn't a Xitami related issue since by default Xitami listens on all
interfaces, it is a network configuration issue. ICS is one-way, outbound.

Routers are fairly cheap now days. LinkSys sells a broadband router, 4 port
switch for about $180 US that will give you everything you need. DMZ, Port
forwarding (which is what you need) and a host of other features. Or you can
look into the various software proxies that will do NAT to direct traffic to
your client.

For the money a router would be your best solution. They aren't hard to setup,
most use browser based admin.
