Assuming that 192.168.1.121 is the address of the machine running the VNC server, and that server is listening on port 5900, you should be able to connect to it by pointing your VNC client at localhost:5900
If not, then tell us what you are trying, what it outputs, and what messages end up in the log files (both remote and local), and we should be able to work out what is happening. edit: make sure that you have no restrictions on localhost in your local firewall, and nothing blocking packets between ....169.251 and ....1.212. Put temporary pass all quick from ... to ... rules in to be sure.

OK. If you are getting an ssh login, then you do not need to worry about any firewalls.
I take it that the firewall is forwarding port 38901 to the ssh server's (and vnc server's) address, port 22? Just make sure that you are making an ssh connection to the right machine! Make sure that vncviewer is trying to connect to port 5900. You would be better off using localhost in the ssh command, like this: $ ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 -p[thatnumber] user@host
