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.
