Hi
I agree, NAT is supposed to be almost impossible to detect.
Change your dial-in password now and see what happens next billing cycle? Perhaps your mate who you helped to setup his computer will ring you later this week to tell you the Internet connection you helped him with has stopped working?
Of course I have done that before.

Having got a network and Internet connection sharing set up (thanks Bruce), Xtra is now charging my family for "overlapping usage" via my Linux computer. (The Internet connection is on the family computer, with Windows XP professional.)

I suspect someone is dialling up with your account simultaniously, not because your NAT-ing...
This might be relevant, for people not on the NZNOG mailing list: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/pipermail/nznog/2004-December/009293.html Basically, there have been on-going problems with some RADIUS servers that do the dial-up accounting, so maybe that's why the ISP thinks your account was being used by multiple users at the same time...
