No. I just tried. I set my ThinkPad to use my desktop as the server and tried the test. It failed. I then tried my firewall and it worked fine. The NTP client in 15.5 is not a server and hasn't been since before openSUSE, IIRC.
That's probably because the firewall in your desktop blocks it.
No. I just allowed NTP to my desktop and still no server.
Both chrony and ntpd can be configured to run as time servers, but by default are not configured to do so. Since chrony is now the default NTP client on openSUSE, I will discuss only that. For additional information, consult the manpages chrony.conf(5) or online sources such as https://opensource.com/article/18/12/manage-ntp-chrony You will find that chrony can easily be turned into a NTP server: just add an "allow" statement to the config file /etc/chrony.conf
