Unable to Access New VM Through VNC: bind: Address already in use

Hi,

I am trying to experiment with virtualization but have hit a stumbling block at pretty much the first hurdle.

I am running a headless server running Ubuntu 16.04.1 which is accessed through Putty and Webmin. I have created a kvm virtual machine using the guide at http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-...u-linux-14-04/ as a base.

I created the machine using the code:
Code:

sudo virt-install \
--virt-type=kvm \
--name guestubuntu \
--ram 512 \
--vcpus=1 \
--os-variant ubuntu16.04 \
--hvm \
--cdrom=/var/lib/libvirt/boot/ubuntu-16.04.1-server-amd64.iso \
--network network=default,model=virtio \
--graphics vnc \
--disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/guesutbuntu.img,size=10,bus=virtio


Once the machine was created I used the command:
Code:

sudo virsh dumpxml guestubuntu | grep vnc
which gave the output of:
Code:

<graphics type='vnc' port='5900' autoport='yes' listen='127.0.0.1'>
I then used the command:
Code:

ssh username@servername -L 5900:127.0.0.1:5900
but I received a warning message:
Code:

bind: Address already in use
When I try to connect from a Windows machine using a VNC viewer I receive a message that the "Connection was refused by the host computer".

The output of the guestubuntu.xml file is:
Code:
