Connection refused usually means that the destination router/firewall is not allowing port 5900 through. It could also mean your destination computer is running a firewall that is not allowing 5900.

Usually when setting up a vnc session over ssh, I wind up using "vncviewer localhost" instead of "192.168.1.19" or something.  Can you tell us how you're setting up ssh?

Just to make sure... but is the computer your trying to access in the
same network? like is it connected to the same router as you?
