   For years since you said that, those are now "my" netsh notes too!   
      
   For the benefit of the lurkers, those are Andy's exact words from   
   a few years ago, where I had copypasted them into _my_ netsh notes.   
      
   netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4 listenport=xxx   
   listenaddress=192.168.xx.xx connectaddress=192.168.yy.yy connectport=yyy   
      
   The topic at the time was a workaround to allow Windows SMB servers   
   to communicate with Android SMB client where there is a port mismatch.   
      
   A catch22 arose that the Windows SMB server required specific ports (I   
   think 445 but the actual port isn't the problem - the fact that the port is   
   below 1024 is the problem). Windows is incapable of using any other port.   
      
   Then you have non-rooted Android, which is incapable of allowing an app to   
   use any port below 1024.   
      
   Andy's netsh notes were to make Windows SMB "think" port 445 was a port   
   higher than 445, for example, 1445, although I never got it to work.   
      
   If it ever did work, it would be a great bonus for Windows and Android   
   users because then the non-rooted Android SMB client could work on port   
   1445 while the Windows SMB server would think port 1445 is port 445.   
      
   Did you ever get the syntax down perfectly?   
   I never got it to work.
