Define the host as "useralias.no-ip.com instead of "NETBIOSHostName".

This is entirely dependent on the NAT device...  The good news is you 
could forward (for example) port 1418 on the NAT device to port 22 on 
computer "A" and port 1419 on the NAT device to port 22 on computer "B".

Better would be an rsyncd service, as that would allow you to only 
transfer changes.
