If I understand what you are saying it means that you have two machines
(the host and the guest) with identical IP in your subnet. That can’t work.

Where are you trying to connect from?
Where are you trying to connect to?
Between Linux you don’t need PuTTy, that’s an ssh client and in Linux
ssh is built in. You use command line to connect.

In vmware you set the guest OS networking either bridged or nat.
Which is it?

I can not be sure about the general installation and setup regarding VMware with OpenSUSE as a virtual machine (for that you should anser Vahis questions) but regarding the connection “via putty” you should check also if sshd service is running and if the port is opened:

  1. is sshd service running
su rcsshd status

also in YaST / Network Services / SSHD Server : YaST/Modules/SSHD Server - openSUSE

  1. is the sshd port (usually 22) opened in the suse firewall (from YaST / Security and users / Firewall ): YaST/Modules/Firewall - openSUSE

Cheers.

Then the virtual machine needs its own IP from the same network as the host. Assign it manually inside the virtual machine or use DHCP (probably not the best ID for a database server).
