The ssh connection is obviously working okay, so the problem lies in getting the tunnel to work. Can you try running ssh on the N900 with extra logging:
Code:
ssh -vvv pc.dyndns.org 2> ssh.log

Rob1n, I am soooo embarrased, lol
I just went and installed a new router, and that didn't make any difference either, I was just about to give in and I thought I would double check my config file again.
Lo and behold, what should have been 127.0.0.1:5900 actually read 127.0.0.0:5900, arrrrgh, what a stupid mistake to make. I've entered the IP for localhost a million times, how the heck did I get that wrong
Well, I changed that and it works first time everytime
So many thanks for all your efforts, and my apologies for the galactic waste of time
I can only hope my embarrassment helps someone else with this issue though

The id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files default to being created in /home/user/.ssh - did you specifically put in a different filename/path when creating them? Anyway, the id_rsa file needs to go in the /home/user/.ssh directory (it doesn't really matter where the id_rsa.pub file goes as that's not used on the N900), as does the config file.

LocalForward localhost:5900 127.0.0.1:5900

Just paste that into a file, yes, but the filename is just "config" (no extension). Don't forget to change the hostname, port and user if you've used different ones.

all done...thrs anthr problem
when we start xterm, its start with a certain prefix...ie
~ $
and see exactly what happens..
~ $ ssh myname.dydns.org (i type my chosen name)
(the cursor comes to this line without any
prefix, and no pass prompt comes up)
same happens if i do this thing after gng into root....the prefix dissappears and nothing happens.!

You must be bored of this by now
I Just tried that, although I used Putty instead of openssh client. I manged to connect and VNC no problems, this was using the same ADSL connection and wifi router.
(I used an eeepc instead of my N900 but everythng else remained the same)
So this means it must be some issue on my N900
