Question : tunnelling with VNC over SSH...

I have two computers that are external to an office. I wan't to be able to tunnel into those two computers using VNC over SSH. I've been trying to get it to work but something is missing. I followed the article http://www.shebeen.com/vnc_ssh/ on how to do it, but it won't seem to get through.

I have VNC installed.
I added the registry entries it wanted.
I made rules on the firewall allowing VNC and SSH through our firewall from my computer.
I installed putty for the SSH (however, I've never used putty before and I'm not sure that I have the right settings)

When I click open on putty to establish the connection is says 'connection timed out'.

I'm not sure if I have the host name right (I have the destination IP of the external computer in there)

I also have SSH selected and then on the 'tunnels' options I have 5901 as the source port, localhost:5900 as the 'destination' and then local selected underneat that.

Can anyone help me out here?
