(I'm assuming it uses TCP for all of this, otherwise you're boned.)
Can it be persuaded to do all this through a SOCKS server? Various SSH
clients (at least PuTTY and OpenSSH) can present a SOCKS server
interface to tunneling, avoiding the need to mess around with name
resolution and set up tunnels manually.

PuTTY at least supports this, although you will need a patch from
Microsoft to get it working with WinXP SP2:
<http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/faq.html#QA.7.20>
(Incidentally, it used to be that you had to ask Microsoft nicely, but
the update appears to be directly available for download now. I'll
update the FAQ.)
Note however that 192.168.0.2 is _not_ a local IP address, so asking
PuTTY to listen on it probably won't do any good. Try addresses like
127.0.0.2 instead.
