How do I redirect an incomming request on port xxx to localhost:yyy on windows 7?

Development Server (vs 2008) only allow access from localhost which isnt good enough. I need to test my app from various computers.

Thanks for the suggestions guys, although I found the answer myself.

I downloaded Microsoft SOAP Toolkit version 3 and started MSSoapT, created a formatted trace listening on port 8080, forwarding to host: 127.0.0.1 port: 3804. My problem was I used "localhost" and not "127.0.0.1".

Now every request made to my development machine from other computers through port 8080 will be redirected to port 3804 where ASP.NET Development Server is statically set to listen when debugging VS.NET webapps.
