Tunnel across specfic port?

Hi all,

Please excuse my mangling of the terminology and such if I do, I'm still new
to this stuff.  Anyway, my situation is that I've got a transparent firewall
which is blocking most useful access to a particular machine.  Neither
machine is a server of any kind, so I'm just trying to do a client to client
type of connection.  They are both running Windows NT, and the extra problem
here(if it is one) is that there appears to be some port blocking occuring
somewhere as well.  So what I'm trying to do(or at least what I think I need
to do) is establish a tunnel across a specific TCP port that will allow me
to redirect all traffic between the 2 hosts so that it passes under the
guise of a port that will be passed.  So, can I do this, or more
importantly, am I even vaguely close in trying to do the right thing?

Thanks!
Jason
