Hi guys, this is a two part question.
1. I recently visited AuditMyPc and ran the scans there to make sure things were cool. I got a bit startled at the results, the scan itself went fine, everything was stealthed. But, it gave me a warning saying it could see my natted "real" IP address, and that it shouldn't.
No other scanning website has warned me about this. I see no options in Sygate or my router menus to hide this address. All other websites see the "normal" address (the one that shows up when I post here.).
2. Another thing that I find strange is that I can do scans all day and Sygate doesn't do it's little blinking warning thing, but when somebody on the net attempted to scan my ports the other day, Sygate went into alert mode.
I haven't noticed any unusual pc activity, nor do I have any viruses, trojans, or spyware. Did this person get past the router and Sygate blocked him/her, or is it just some weird fluke?

No, I don't have but one computer and it isn't hooked into the DMZ port. I have been noticing it is different IP addresses that scan me, and it seems to only happen when I have P2P going ( I know, I know).
They seem to scan only the first couple hundred ports, and it's very random. They don't seem to be going after the ports used by P2P like it seems they would when it's being used.

If you using P2P then they are probably not scanning your ports as much as they are looking for an open port to transfer files with. It is probably the P2P program using the ports that are available, the more downloads and people you connect to, the more ports are going to be used.
