All looks okay so far. Have you enabled loopback connections in VNC?
By default the VNC server will not accept connections on the loopback
(127.0.0.1) address. There should be an option in the server config to
enable loopback connections (I'm not running RealVNC here so I can't
tell you exactly what/where it is).
Cheers,
