- Three computers with one IP address? Simultaneously? Are you sure?

The three computers are on a local network that connects to the internet
through a hub, thus having the same outside IP address of 62.6.162.34.
They all have network IP addresses of 172.20.32.%.

I see.


- How do you know you don't need a password? Could you show us the
complete pg_hba.conf file?

The reason I say that I don't need a password is that every other
PGAdmin install doesnt enter a password. That is the only think that has
led me to conclude that I don't need to pass a password, isn't that
default for the user 'postgres' anyways? And heres the conf file. Thanks

No, it's not - at least not from the "outside".

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all         all                               trust
# IPv4 local connections:

As you could see even from your conf file (which is a modified version
of the default one) the default is "allow everyone to login from the
this machine using unix domain sockets, IPv4 or IPv6 and _do not_
require a password". Now, the next lines are added by your DB
administrators and are specific to your configuration.


# host1. web server
host    all         all         69.16.237.154/32        trust

# Pete home
host    all         all         62.190.238.189/32       md5

# Will
host    all         all         82.71.53.201/32         md5



And the next line is relevant to you. It still says you need to supply
a password.

# Turbine
host    all         all         62.6.162.34/32          md5

host    all         all         67.43.10.135/32         md5

# Will home
host    all         all         82.71.53.201/32 md5

# David Home
host    all         all         84.13.4.175/32          trust

#Ben Home
host    all         all         80.195.227.249/32       trust

[...]


So, when you do supply a password, what is the error message? And
could you look in the server's logs and see what's the error message
there?
