This tells you nothing of the status of any firewalls on 10.3.1.194, though.

I assume this is after you have used SSH to connect to the gateway machine?

None of your examples use port forwarding, only a remote X tunnel from SSH.

Is there a firewall on your machine blocking connections, though.  Another

 $ telnet 10.3.1.194 5901

And see if you get a response.
