This was a badly worded post, but I think I understand.

To forward your SOCKS requests, you need to forward a local
port (8000 or whatever you choose) to whatever port your SOCKS
server is listening on. This will *not* be port 443. 443 is where the sshd
server is listening. Since you setup the SOCKS server, you'll have
to figure that one out, but it's probably 8080 or 8000.

Then, in IE, you'll need to go to the advanced proxy settings and set
only the SOCKS proxy address to localhost:8000
