It is probably a firewall issue. if you can get in via SSH, start yast, go to Network Services -> Remote Administration and check the box that says "allow remote administration" and "open port in firewall".
If you are using autoyast to install you can poke a hole in the firewall during installation by supplying the tag <FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP>5801 5901 ssh vnc</FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP> in the <firewall> section.
