Is Port Redirection/Forwarding (i.e. 8443 -> 3389) for Windows Vista/Server 2008 possible with the built-in firewall?

Is it possible to execute port redirection/forwarding with the built-in firewall (or some other software) for Vista/Windows 2008?



I want to forward port 8443 to 3389 (HTTPS forwarded to Remote Desktop port) for RDP access to a server from places where the normal RDP port is blocked. I can do this with a hardware firewall at work, but I don't know if its possible to directly implement it with the built-in firewall for other computers without access to a hardware firewall.



I've tried a simple forwarding rule rinetd (http://www.boutell.com/rinetd) and PortTunnel (steelbytes.com) without success.



Any ideas/suggestions for how to implement this?
