Can Softsqueeze open remote port 9000 as a local port?

Sometimes is useful to change the Maximum bit rate for Softsqueeze player. Depending on the network being used at the time one may need to go from 196 or 128kbs to 64kbs. Usually I use putty to connect with SSH to the server running Slimserver, and make ports 9000 and 3482 available as local ports in my laptop, so i can connect with a browser to http://localhost:9000 to the server and change remotely any configuration I need. Is it possible to have Softsqueeze put the 9000 port as a local port on the laptop (a la putty) so theres no need to use anything else besides softsqueeze and a browser for configuring remotely Slimserver?
When I use the softsqueeze built-in ssh client to connect to my server, the necessary ports are tunnelled automatically. I can connect to localhot:9000 without additional manipulation. See softsqueeze's network settings.
Are you saying I should have checked network settings first???? :-) For sure, it works perfectly using the "Forward additional ports" = 9000... Im pretty sure I tried this before, some time ago, maybe I was having another issue and it didnt work, and I was left with the impression that Softsqueeze was not prepared for this... Closing the bug... Thanks Michael!!
