Access remote client resources via ssh tunnel?

I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this. Tomato with busybox at home. I connect at a remote location via putty to create a tunnel. Mostly just use for surfing through socks.

I want to access resources on the client machine (running putty) from a machine on my home lan.

How to address the remote machine from within the lan without setting up a loopback interface? What IP do you use? The router's?

Ultimate goal is to stream video with VLC through the client connected via putty from a machine on the home LAN.

Any tips?​
 
I was able to stream from my home PC to my work PC. I installed COPSSH on my home computer. From work I ssh to my home router on port 443 since its the only port that work allows me to get out to the internet. I port forward that to my internal server on 22. With the ssh connection I set up port forwarding with the putty tool. In putty setting from work pc after I've established the connection to home I forward local port 6999 to 127.0.0.1:6999. Then I open VLC at home. Select Media -> Open Capture Device. on the Capture Device tab select video and audio source you want. then on the bottom choose stream and click stream. Next window will have source, destination and options tabs. I change the destination to HTTP and hit the add button. Change port to 6999 and path to whatever you want. I used /go.ogg In the transcoding options select which transcode you want. I just wanted audio and i had to experiment. MP4 wasn't working for me but Audio - Vorbis (OGG) did work. once you have that selected you can hit stream. now back to work computer I open the web browser and point to http://localhost:6999/go.ogg and I can now hear sound in my house streaming from the microphone plugged into my office computer.
