Why doesn't this iptables forward work?

I used to have this same iptables tunnel on a different
IP address, (64.94.46.199 on eth0), but now I have to
change IP addresses to 64.202.99.246 on eth0:5
because my ISP is reclaiming the old one.

Does anyone know why I'm getting "Connection
refused" below? It should work, because I'm setting up
the tunnel on the new IP address exactly the same
way.

It's supposed to forward all incoming connections on
port 443 to port 6969.

Code: 
[root@lina rc.d]# iptables -t nat -L
Chain PREROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         
DNAT       tcp  --  anywhere             lina               tcp dpt:https to:64.202.99.246:6969 

Chain POSTROUTING (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         

Chain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination         
[root@lina rc.d]# telnet lina https

telnet: connect to address 64.202.99.246: Connection refused
[root@lina rc.d]# telnet 64.202.99.246 6969
