Adding to what Colin said:

- is the VNC server running on the computer you have forwarded port
5600 to?

- did you forward TCP port 5600 (UDP port 5600 won't work)

- do you have anything running on your computer that might be blocking
the port - like a firewall?

- do you know that the VNC server is actually running" Try "ps ax |
grep -i vnc".

You could also check whether something is listening on TCP port 5600 by
running 'netstat -an | grep tcp | grep 5600'. VNC uses a range of
ports, so you could also try 'netstat -an | grep tcp | grep "56.."'. If
you don't have netstat, try connecting to the port locally using e.g.
'telnet localhost 5600'.
