> status of any firewalls on 10.3.1.194

Its just a Fedora/Gnome workstation. I haven't setup any firewalls. How
would I check this? I've seen this in the logs, maybe there's an x
session authorization issue?

Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols
specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.

Yes

I can invoke VNCauth on other systems from the SSH gateway, and I was
told that the tunneling was all I needed. The hardware is different, and
they may be running an older Fedora, so I guess the systems are too
different to compare.

I've seen had an example of a connection command with ports for
forwarding but can't find it. What command would work for my situation?

This tells you nothing of the status of any firewalls on 10.3.1.194,
though.

I assume this is after you have used SSH to connect to the gateway
machine?

None of your examples use port forwarding, only a remote X tunnel from
SSH.

Is there a firewall on your machine blocking connections, though.
Another
troubleshooting step would be to use telnet to verify you can connect to
the machine:

 $ telnet 10.3.1.194 5901

And see if you get a response.
