virt-install with VNC, how can i connect to the vnc port from a remote computer?

Question

I'm trying to install XP Pro on a VM, but how do can i connect to the VNC port from a remote computer?

i create the VM with :

sudo virt-install --name XPComputer --arch x86_64 --vcpus 1 --ram 512 --file /virtpcs/vdisks/harddrive.img --cdrom  /virtpcs/isos/xp_pro_x32.iso --os-type windows --os-variant winxp --keymap no --connect qemu:///system --vnc --vncport 5901 --network bridge:virbr0 --noautoconsole

with netstat -l i can see it's listening on localhost:5901 , but i can't connect to it from the remote computer.
