Regardless wither you are using linux or windows, you need to get the remote ssh login to work 1st, before you even try to make the tunnel. Originally I followed the guide here: http://www.buzzsurf.com/surfatwork/ Which I later adapted to use under linux. Under windows I use putty with -D switch, in linux I use Gnome SSH Tunnel Manager. http://sourceforge.net/projects/gstm/ FreeCap sort of works under wine with WoW, but it consumes all cpu resources making the FPS unplayable. Wish there was native wine "socksify" support for windows apps. :-(
