Please try to keep options to the _left_ of the non-options. I refer
here to your "-p 50122".

Yes, but it forwards 127.0.0.1:7100 on machine A to 74.142.196.218:7100.

And...

| machine B:
| nc -l 7100

Ok. On machine B (the VM?) run:

  netstat -an | grep 7100

What does it show? And what does:

  ifconfig -a

show machine B has as its interface addresses?

Remember that the port forward at the remote end is running on machine B.

| machine A
| nc localhost 7100
| 
| which causes the machine B to display a crash!!!!
| >>>channel 3: open failed: connect failed: Connection refused <<<

This is not a crash, just an error message. This just says that
machine B is not listening on 74.142.196.218:7100.

I think you have a machine C (the VM host) that runs the VM guest "B".
And that C's IP address is 74.142.196.218.

Machine B will not have the address 74.142.196.218.

Since "nc -l 7100" on a machine here listens on "*" (all interfaces,
no specific address), I would just connect to 127.0.0.1 on machine B:

  ssh -L  7100:127.0.0.1:7100  user@74.142.196.218 -p 50122
