did you open the firewall in the remote? It's all what is necessary on openSUSE (beside starting sshd daemon :-)
Yes, I've configured the openSUSE firewall on each end.
if the remote computer is behind a router, you have to forward the ssh port of the router to a port on the receiver. For this look at the receiver router manual
some configure online (web app), some others locally.

The receiver's router is some rather pathetic device provided free by their ISP. When I was there recently I logged in to its configuration settings, which aren't very extensive. There was a setting to allow specified services to pass through. I selected 'SSH' from the list, then selected their PC from the list of known/connected devices, and changed
the port number to the one I'd previously configured (i.e. not the default 22).
What isn't clear is how I would SSH into more than machine at their end. Currently that isn't necessary, but once you've selected 'SSH' from the
list you can only choose one device. If I try to add another configuration and select SSH again it says I've already set that and I must change the existing configuration. This seems to be a severe limitation of a cheap router.
Use a different port for each machine behind the router. This isn't a limitation of the router. It's basic TCP you are up against. Once you have a ssh connection to one machine you can ssh to any of the others. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
