not really an issue, just a feature I can't seem to find a way to enable.  When 
adding a new tunnel, I can't change the source's address.  it is locked to 
localhost.  I need to change to a loopback adptor's fake ip address.  this 
feature is useful when creating tunnle for port that is already in use on the 
localhost for example tunnel for samba port at 139.

Not sure if I understand you correct.
By default local SSH tunnels are created on localhost ('netstat -an' command 
would display 127.0.0.1:<portNum>) accepting connection from your local machine 
only.
If you want to accept connections from remote machines you should check the 
option "Local ports accept connections from other hosts" in the 
"Tools->Options" menu. This change should lead to the following output from the 
netstat command: '<yourRealIp>:<PortNum>'.
You cannot directly control which local interface to use. You cannot do that 
using PuTTY either. And in my opinion it is extremely rare case that can be 
avoided using a different approach to the problem.
If you find a way to implement it using the PuTTY package utilities, post it 
and I will help you to adjust it to the Tunnel Manager.
