You have the machines backwards. The host in -L should be a host on the remote
network, not on the local network. There is no way to select from what machine a local
port is forwarded, because it is always done from localhost. (and a remote forward is
always done from the remote host.)
Try this:
ssh2 -L 82:machineB:80 username@machineB
