This is screenshot of the netstat -tulpn -
Port 5900 is the standard for VNC. Looks like the server is already running. Have you verified that the firewall is open?

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.

Why not just allow port 5900 through?
Now that you know that things are working, you should turn the firewall on and only allow port 5900.

@Reid-Cooper OK I have disabled my firewall and gave only the IP address for the system to be in remote

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