Which Debian release are you on? My Debian Etch box has 1:4.3p2-9 
(OpenSSH_4.3p2 Debian-9, OpenSSL 0.9.8c 05 Sep 2006). Not exactly 
cutting edge. I haven't tested the feature, but it obviously is 
documented as being supported. 

If you can't upgrade, explore the other options, like the -g switch Matt 
mentioned, or the GatewayPorts setting in your OpenSSH config file. 

Other options include hacking a connection between the loopback address 
and the LAN IP with something like netcat, or just running an ssh client 
directly on your laptop. Putty[1] supports port forwarding, and there 
are OpenSSH ports to Windows[2].
