Can you try (on the desktop) running (at a command prompt) "telnet 127.0.0.1 5900" to check that you can actually connect to the VNC server. You should get a "RFB 003.008" (or something like that.

SSH configuration for VNC
Data used (substitute your own values for these where used):Dynamic DNS name for PC: pc.dyndns.orgOn the router:
SSH user login: fred
SSH port: 522Ensure port 522 is allowed, and is forwarded to the PC.On the N900:From X Terminal, run "ssh-keygen -b 2048 -t rsa" to generate a public/private key pair. Choose a pass phrase - this will be required every time you connect (you can leave it blank, but I'd advise against this).On the PC:Download and install freeSSHd (http://www.freesshd.com/), setting it to run as a system service.On the N900:
Double-click on the icon in the system tray.
Edit the settings:Telnet: Disable starting server at startup.Click OK to close the freeSSHd settings window.
SSH: Enable starting server at startup. Change the port to 522 to reduce random attacks (any other non-standard port will do).
Authentication: Set password authentication to disabled and public key authentication to required.
Tunneling: Allow local port forwarding, only to localhost. Disable remote port forwarding.
Users: Add a new user fred (any name will do), set authorization to Public key, and enable Shell and Tunneling.
Copy and rename the public key from the N900 (/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to C:\Program Files\freeSSHd\fred on the PC (the same name as you used for the user you created earlier, with no file extension).Create a configuration file /home/user/.ssh/config (to simplify the connection strings):The tunnel should now be configured. You can start the tunnel from X Terminal by running "ssh pc.dyndns.org". You should be prompted for the pass phrase, then presented with the C:\ prompt. You can now run the VNC client, connecting to "127.0.0.1:0". To shut down the tunnel, simply type "exit" at the C:\ prompt.Host pc.dyndns.org
IdentitiesOnly yes
PasswordAuthentication no
User fred
Port 522
LocalForward localhost:5900 127.0.0.1:5900
--Frm whre to get to ssh config for VNC?
--thn when on n900 i run ssh-keygen....it says...ssh-keygen not found?
clear these questions please so that i can proceed further....

Tested that this morning, I get that exact message. I also tried to connect to the VNC server using another PC on the network and that worked too, so I can control it via local network just not through the tunnel.
VNC also works fine on the N900 as I use to remote control a different PC (local network, no tunnel)
I'm guessing this is gonna be some kind of bug or glitch, I've tried all the workarounds I found on google, (which basically consisted of rm the known_hosts file.) I just had a quick look and it may be afault with my router... the netgear DG834G seems to have problems with ssh, and streaming videos...time for a different brand router I think.

I cannot access the local network with my N900 as it is a purely wired network. no Wifi is allowed. Only entry point is the network firewall attached to a leased-line, and to access that i'm going out through a seperate ADSL connection though the netgear router.
I have tried upgrading, downgrading and even installing custom firmware for my ADSL router but no luck still.

That'll at least rule out the server from the equation.

The "SSH user login" is the login you create in freeSSHd (documented later on), and the "SSH port" is the port you choose to set freeSSHd to listen on (and your router to forward to your PC).
