          Port 5900 is the standard for VNC. Looks like the server is already running. Have you verified that the firewall is open?

              Why not just allow port 5900 through?

                  Okay, that makes things easy. So now, from the VNC client on Windows XP, what is happening? You should only need to put in the IP address of the Ubuntu server there.

                      Now that you know that things are working, you should turn the firewall on and only allow port 5900.

                          This makes no sense...enable the firewall and allow port 5900 in IPTables.
