    A little research indicates that MMS can run over UDP, TCP, or HTTP.
    SSH can't forward UDP; perhaps WMP isn't falling back to TCP, or 1755
    isn't the port for MMS over TCP (I haven't looked into this).

    You may have better luck if you use dynamic forwarding in PuTTY and
    point WMP at the SOCKS proxy thus provided.
