I'm having difficulties setting up the command line for the port forwarding program http://www.sureshotsoftware.com/tcptunnel/index.html .

I want to forward Direct Connect (port 411) and mIRC (6666) to browsing (port 1080?). Downloads are horrible on any port other than website ports.

I tried the following but it doesn't seem to work:

tcptunnel -listenport 411 -toport 1080 -tohost localhost

FROM HELP FILE:
Switch Description
-help Displays version and help information.
-listenport The port where the tunnel is listening.
-tohost The hostname to where the tunnel connects if a client connects.
-toport The port to where the tunnel connects if a client connects.
-proxies The HTTP proxies that the connection should go through. The proxies
MUST support the CONNECT command. See examples how to specify the
proxies.

Forward your port 80 to www.microsoft.com port 80
>tcptunnel -listenport 80 -tohost www.microsoft.com -toport 80

Forward port 9000 to your Windows share server (port 139).
>tcptunnel -listenport 9000 -tohost <your computer name> -toport 139

Forward port 9000 to the telnet server (port 23) on machine "destinationhost".
>tcptunnel -listenport 9000 -toport 23 -tohost destinationhost

Forward port 9000 to the telnet server (port 23) on machine "destinationhost". The connection
will go through through the HTTP proxy "proxy.host.com" port 8080
>tcptunnel -listenport 9000 -toport 23 -tohost destinationhost -proxies proxy.host.com:8080
