So, is there a way to identify open and close(filtered) ports inside 
nat? or w2k assigns different id numbers for different ether interfaces?

Yes there is, but not by using SYN scanning because there will always be a
reply to the SYN (either SYN/ACK or RST).
Try sending FIN's istead of SYN's to the host. If the port is closed the id
should increment by 512, and by 256 if it's open.
