I'm not sure where else to look for help on this one, so I'll post
here...

My parents have SlimServer running on their XP box, mainly for my mom
to stream online radio.  I wanted to stop their SlimServer and open
Putty and create a tunnel so I could stream from my SlimServer at home
(I can successfully stream).  Whatever I do I cannot get a usable
tunnel in Putty.  I know how to create them, and have done it
successfully many times.  I just can't do it with theirs.  If I use IE
to try to view my SlimServer over the tunnel I get a Page Cannot Be
Displayed error when I try localhost:9000 and when I try 127.0.0.1:9000
it either keeps trying to connect or gives the same error as localhost,
I can't quite remember now.

As an experiment, I went home and created a similar setup on my XP box
(I run my SlimServer on another machine running Solaris) and created a
tunnel on ports 3483 and 9000 to the SlimServer box.  I then manually
entered the IP address of my XP box in one of my SB3s and like magic
everything worked.  As expected.

My parents and I both run XP SP2 with Norton 2007.  As far as I can
tell both firewalls are good to go.

Any ideas what will make tunnels in Putty not work?  I can login to my
Solaris box fine, so Putty itself can connect.
