Yes, it's a very good progress! Now you have to know why you cannot connect.
If you are a lucky owner of a linux box, use tcptraceroute to trace the route to 172.17.51.126, tcp port 5901. If you cannot get there, you will know where the packets are hitting a wall (or a firewall). Maybe you will need to set proxy settings on your vnc client too. If you are a windows user, start a sniffer (I think Wireshark have a Windows port, I haven't used Windows for like a decade now), telnet to 172.17.51.126, tcp port 5901 and see if you get any ICMP Port Unreachable messages from someone. If your firewall have a DENY policy you will get some of those, but a DROP policy will give you nothing.
