ports

[Don Johnson]

I was told that using WinXP's firewall, I can redirect
any port to port 23. You see I want others to be able to
play a game on my computer. It only allows telnetting
through port 23. I tried WinRoute and it works when it
wants to. So, is there indeed a way to redirect traffice
from say port 79 to port 23?
