The firewall is on by default.  Did you disable it during installation?

/sbin/service iptables status

If you can connect to the VNC server fine from the local machine, but not
the network then it is a network issue.

Which leads us to believe the problem is communication with that specific
machine.

You aren't tunneling.

If the issue is a local firewall, the only tunneling that would work would
be:

a) create a tunnel on the gateway to SSH on the problem machine
b) create a tunnel (via the first tunnel) to VNC on the problem machine

Unless you need the traffic from the gateway to the VNC machine encrypted,
it would be easier to fix this issue then just use one tunnel from the
gateway to the VNC server.
